2.5. Other Browsers
Dozens of less popular browsers
circulate around the web community. Of these, the Opera browser has
perhaps the largest audience, albeit a very small percentage of the
installed base. Support for DHTML facilities varies widely on these
browsers. Opera 6, for example, supports basic CSS and DOM features.
In the latter case, however, you are restricted to only a handful of
core DOM objects, properties, and methods. For example, you can use
document.getElementById( ) to reference any
element, but the W3C document node tree is not complete. Dynamic
content capabilities are limited, although basic dynamic styles are
supported. The company does provide an online list of known support
and bugs for each version—something you should check if your
cool design or script isn't performing in Opera. For
