Microsoft Sends Broken Stylesheets to Opera

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the accidents-happen dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Register has a story that the MSN homepage serves a different style sheet to the Opera web browser that makes Opera appear to be broken. Is this deliberate or a mistake? Who can possibly say? Opera's own take on the situation can be found here." This is not the first time.

    Opera should respond by automatically translating any page on the Microsoft web site into German and back again with Babelfish.

    I think we should give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt here. I mean, it's really easy to slip up and identify a specific user agent, and serve a web page to it that has a content margin set to -30 pixels. We've all done it before, right?

      I remember back to about '97 or so, at the height of the browser wars, every time I went to the Microsoft web site with Navigator 3.0, Navigator would GPF. Of course, the same thing would happen if I went to the Netscape site with IE 3.0. Which was ironic, because I was going there to download Navigator.

    Dude, this MSN page looks pretty messed up in *any* browser. How's that for cross-browser compatibility eh?

    Maybe they don't want to. But Internet Explorer certainly does.
