Opera 9.5 To Fully Support CSS?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the taking-standards-seriously dept.

Albert Sandberg writes "According to a developer blog, it looks like Opera 9.5 (which has been code-named Kestrel) will be the first browser to fully support the CSS selector test (test is here). Finally! Weekly builds should start being available in a few weeks."

    From the 43 selectors 25 have passed, 9 are buggy and 9 are unsupported (Passed 346 out of 578 tests) Not great, but a lot better than I ever did in school. ;-)

    The second big complaint was that it doesn't support more than 9 mouse buttons. I spent $100 on a fancy mouse, hoping I could control most of my GUI programs with only the mouse. Much to my surprise, any shortcuts after Button9 simply don't work. This was quite disappointing

      I'm trying to figure out if that's a joke. Nine mouse buttons?

      Any Mac user will tell you that one mouse button, when used in conjunction with seven funny-looking keyboard keys should be enough for anybody!

    No, you didn't test Konqueror 3.5.7 unitl AFTER Opera apparently passed. So Konqueror passed after Opera. Sure, it may have been ABLE to pass before, but it never took the initiative.

    Nine mouse buttons? Must be one of those new fangled two-handed mice. That's a button for each finger (a la Twister) with one thumb leftover for the traditional "thumbs up" when you finally complete that complicated multi-mouse buttoned maneuver in Duke Nukem Forever.

    Since the 99 of the great 1900's, ways of preferred stoning, and styling leafs of thy webbing, ("imparts of the face of thy brows") Is not structure forged with contentment? ("What manner of entrails subsume thy tiding parts?")

    But in thou'ists separate standings, the sheeted of the stylets suffice.

    They need to change their icon, so slashdot can use the old one.

    You dissed Firefox on /. , major karma mistake (Score:0, Offtopic)

    Yes, Opera is second to none overall, but don't let anyone know, OK? Yes, most of the good features of the new IE and Firefox actually came from Opera, but they don't know that, and as long as you keep getting modded into karma hell, they never will.

    (Yes, I do use Firefox and Konqurer and Opera and I want them all, but please don't take my opera away... It is the ONE closed source tool I REALLY like, and since it does not threaten anyone please indulge us Opera users)
