Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Isn't there a new Opera coming out in a few days?

eta: And then there's this Opera mystery: Next Week, Opera Claims It Will “Reinvent The Web”

We’ve heard the phrase ‘reinventing the web’ too many times already, so we’re wary of Opera’s claims, but this made us curious anyhow. The browser maker has just unveiled Opera 10 in beta, so it could be taking the wraps off the product and taking it public rather quickly. Or it could be something entirely different.

Opera users don’t seem to know what’s going on either.

heh. the add-ons are just awesome though. it isn't like firefox is crippled without them, but with them, I can clip text to my Evernote account (for example), search for duplicate bookmarks, duplicate tabs (or detach them or consolidate windows), automatically reload certain web pages at differential times, sync bookmarks across computers and to the web.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Isn't there a new Opera coming out in a few days?

I was using the beta and it started crashing every few minutes instead of every hour or so. I'm not optimistic.

But they're about to reinvent the Web! (see my edit)

I'm reinventing the Web right now AIFG!

I'm reinventing the Web... in my pants!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Hey guys, I'm trying to do a little toggle thing on a website, and the instructions I'm following say to "activate toggleElements on document.ready" and gives me code to do that.

I'm confused. Where do I put that code? I added a link to "toggleElements.js" inside "head" so I'm guessing that it goes on the page--before every element I want to toggle? At the beginning of the html? Or am I wrong and it goes in the head code?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Usually you put the script or the link to the script in the head and use divs for toggled and untoggled using id, e.g.:

t div id="untoggled" This is visible on the page. t /div

t div id="toggled" This is the toggled thing. t /div

(If that makes any sense.)

I'm using jquery, and there is a script linked in the head, plus the additional bit of "document.ready" script. I'm going to have to poke around a bit more, I think.

eta: am idiot. I checked the source code of the sample page. Should have done that hours ago.

Thanks, though, Ginger.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Hey, remember that barcode I asked about the other day?

Laga, which kind of bar code or matrix code?

It's either Semacode, Aztec code or QR code. I'll take a harder look at it next time I'm at work.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

ita ... I'm using Opera 10 Beta build 4402 on Ubuntu 9.04 and it's worked fine for me. The only time it crashes is when I visit tmz.com and I reckon that's something to do with their movie player. So perhaps the issue isn't so much Opera, as Leopard.
