I just fixed one problem I found where I accidentally entered text straight into an <ol> tag without entering it in a child <li> element. While I don't see why that would cause the ENTIRE page to do that, you can try it now and see if it works.

According to the W3 validator, the page checks out as valid code. So, if the problem is still there, it's a problem with Opera.

I thought you meant the dzstart.html homepage -- which I know for a fact has some problems in other browsers -- but that page is only intended to be used as the Donzilla startup page. I'm probably going to move it into one of the chrome DIRs so I can have it on a per-version basis (and accessible while offline, for what good it will do), and the current dzstart.html would just say "Upgrade your browser" or similar.

It's definitively better, although I still can't see the full text.

might not be as bad as regular beta-quality programs.

Well, what I am saying is that the page isn't optimized for any specific browser, and is 100% valid code, so it must be a bug in Opera's engine. Since I grabbed a free key that I have yet to use back on Opera's 10th, I might install Opera 8 and do some testing.

Very little of HH2K is any proprietary code, unless I was coding at midnight and screwed up the code to a page (as I so commonly do nowadays). There is only one place that I know of that there is proprietary code, and that is to get rid of the border on the page's frameset. While this is supported by Mozilla, Netscape, and Internet Explorer, it will still work fine in any other browser, you'll just get a frame border. I can't find any other way of getting the borders out of there, because I'll always end up with white space in place of the borders using the standard frameborder attribute.

Pu7o (or anyone else), do you know if the page works in the latest released version of Opera?

So, when can we expect a Mozilla 1.7.12-based Donzilla? :)

The 0.8 PR1 milestone is well on the way. I just have ABSOLUTELY no time lately. This Saturday I will attempt to finish it up, but all the studying and homework has really limited any non-school life of mine at the moment.

I finished one of my objectives for the 0.8 milestone tonight: use a flat chrome (as suggested by Pu7o) as opposed to using libjar archives. I figured that although it would result in a larger /chrome directory, it would result in a speed increase too. Well, I was wrong: not only do we get a speed increase, but we reduce the size of /chrome from 15.9MB to 14.6MB. Keep in mind, I decompressed those archives.

...mysterious?

Making a flat chrome gives a bit of a speed increase at the first start (due to NT's memory management it will get faster at subsequent uses until you dump the RAM by restarting or using a program to do it). It gives a noticeable speed increase when you open up other components like Mailnews, Composer, etc... By doing this, I also managed to fix a problem I was having where NSS wouldn't properly register. All works fine now.

Still no ETA, sorry. I am a busy person lately :(

A flat chrome is where the chrome files are unpacked instead of being in .jar files.
