Very True Things
“He talks to himself sometimes because he’s the only one who understands what he’s saying.”

Not a case for Use JavaScript after all, unless Quizilla are so lazy that they can’t implement a trivial fix. This is the bug report I just sent to them:

Currently a click anywhere in your pages causes Opera to open up the main menu. This is particularly annoying when filling out a quiz as selecting an answer to question one causes the main menu to appear and cover the text of question two.

This is causes by a small typo in your HTML.

<sppan style="font-size: larger; font-style: bold;">Main Menu</span>
<span style=”font-size:smaller;”>Click to Expand [v]</span>

Note the <sppan>. This is mucking up the document parse tree and causing Opera to treat the div with the onClick event handler to remain open.

Change that to <span> and the problem will be fixed.

Some people just haven’t ever heard of rudimentary QA.

[update] - and I’ve never heard of proofreading: “causing Opera to treat the div with the onClick event handler to remain open”. Sigh.

[update 2] - Quizilla have fixed the typo and their quizzes are once again safe for Opera users. Result.
