no...I didn't know, and I'm not too surprised, given the amount of HTML I know... :)

I"ll download it and have a look. It's presumably some difference between Opera and Firefox/Safari!

thanks

Opera's quite good - the developer tools look nifty. And I found the problem - a missing angle bracket that Safari and Firefox didn't complain about... :)

One of the best plugins for FireFox is Firebug. I'd be interested to know if it would have found the missing character?

Firebug inserted the missing angle bracket automatically, and the page displayed with fewer errors, although in the source view the line was highlighted in red so I might have spotted it there. Safari also inserted one for me. By being less forgiving, Opera was more helpful ... Must be a lesson there somewhere :)
