Sadly (?) I picked German in school.

Maybe you'd be "Nao der Größte"? (Note, I don't really know German, especially grammar. Der could very well be die or das or des or God knows. German grammar is insane.)
Not so. It's more complex than English grammar, but still fairly easy when you compare it to languages like Czech or Russian. That's real hell, grammar - wise.

Or latin. But we all know the ancient romans only invented that language to torture the next 100 generations of humans, yet we are still stupid enough to teach it :)

For the record: "der" is correct.
Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one instruction -- from which, by induction, one can deduce that every program can be reduced to a single instruction that doesn't work.

The Romans invented Latin so that the Pythons could send them home :eheh:

Hey! Are you saying that 2 years taking high school Latin class was just for naught?

Because Latin is in your culture. Too easy for Italians. Greek is what they use to fuck with your mind ;)

Romani ite domini! Or something.

Hey, might as well reuse this topic title...... :whistle:

Okay, can anyone here fire up Opera? Interested in knowing the version number, too. I'm using v12 and here's what I want you to do.

Right click on any element on any web page.
Click "Inspect element" to fire up Dragonfly.
In the right side of the Dragonfly window, click the 'Properties' tab.
Scroll to the bottom and unfold the 'style [CSSStyleDeclaration]' parameter.
Scroll again to the bottom, and tell me if you see this show up in the list:

        zoom: ""

Normally, this should NOT show up, because zoom is IE-only and Opera has no reason to define it -- even empty. It doesn't even support it -- if you try doing a zoom:1, it'll fire up a CSS error.

Problem is -- jQuery, at some point, creates an empty dummy div and proceeds to check (~line 1242 in v1.5.2 uncompressed) for 'style' in div.style, which will return true, because it's set (even if empty.)
As a result, it executes that codepath which normally is only for IE... And it triggers said CSS error.

I'm a bit pissed off. Dunno if I should complain at Opera or jQuery, to begin with... Probably Opera! But they're slow to react to bug reports...

Opera 11.51 on Windows doesn't do it for me, I even went to the jQuery website and the demo site and still could not reproduce this behaviour.
