Shape 5

Hello, I have problem with page displaying in Opera browser.

The problems is markant particularly when Shape 5 News display module is enabled on the page. With transitions of the news in News display the layout of the page is "jumping" - some gap is appearing and disappearing repeatedly below login/breadcrumb/search panel which makes the rest of the page to "jumping" and impossible to read...

Check both states in this screenshot: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/8194/snookerweb.jpg

- on the top half, there is a screen where the gap is visible, on the botton half there is a screen where no gap (usual layout) is visible.


Not only ma page behaves like that in Opera - even Sportopolis demo here on shape5.com behaves like that in Opera browser so you can reproduce it on demo site too.

Thanks for any help and workaround.

Hello, I didn't see these problems on my version of Opera. Have you maybe checked this on a second machine? Opera unfortunately, does not meet a lot of W3C standards and different versions consistently do not display css correctly, but this is a browser issue. Unfortuntely, Opera has become an "almost working" browser for most developers and most treat web development this way when it comes to this browser because it ignores correct css styling. All that to say  :) I would say first check it on a second machine.

mikek: Yes, it is reproducible on more machines than mine. Actually, as I am not using Opera, I have been initially asked by website users that the website is not comfortable to be read in Opera (because of this repeated jumping of layout) - so I tested it on my deskstop as well as laptop and I can verify that behaviour on both machines.

Firstly, I had the impression that the problem is local for my website, but the testing of Sportopolis demo located here does the same.

Tested on the latest Opera I got on Saturday from official Opera website - version 10.53 for Windows.

Can you please post a url to your site?

sure, it is www.snookerweb.cz (http://www.snookerweb.cz).

Hello, on my installation of Opera the only thing out of place is the actual home icon on the breadcrumbs, but this is a browser issue. It is completely ignoring the following css that tells it to have padding:

#s5_pathway {
float:left;
font-weight:bold;
padding-left:12px;
padding-top:9px;
}

Like I said above, the browser has had a track record of W3C issues and there's nothing that can be done about this because the code above is correct and up to standards, the browser simply ignores it.
