Web Standards Project: CSS: Bugs in Opera: Problems in Handling of Whitespace

The following code is in the stylesheet for this page:

BODY    {
        background-color: #006;
        color:  #F5F5F5;
        }       

A:link  {       
        color:  #F63;
        background:     #006;
        }       

A:visited       {       
        color:  #6F6;
        background:     #006;
        }       

This paragraph has a link to the main webstandards page and a link to nowhere.org. Unvisited links should be orange, and they are. Visited links should be light green, and they are. This works because there aren't any tabs anymore.

Note. For this test to show the problem, it is important that the "Link Presentation" settings do not specify that you want framed links. For some reason, setting Framed links causes the colours to be overrideen.

To turn link frames back off from within Opera, select Preferences, Link Presentation and then uncheck the checkbox labeled Framed in the panel labelled Common.
