Firstly, I've noticed that embedded YouTube videos on personal websites, or any sites not on YouTube's domain, cannot be viewed on Opera browser. In other words, the codes given by YouTube to embed the videos on your site does not have support for Opera browser. However I've found out a trick to do so. Here's how.. This is the original code given by YouTube to embed to your own website. Copy this codes and paste into the source of your site. CODE <object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bTfVt5GxpFU"></param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bTfVt5GxpFU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed> </object> Now look at the value in the param tag and the source in the embed tag. Edit the "/v/" into "/p.swf?video_id=". Hence it becomes the following.. CODE <object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/p.swf?video_id=bTfVt5GxpFU"></param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/p.swf?video_id=bTfVt5GxpFU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed> </object> Now with this code, you will be able to play YouTube videos on Opera browser as well. Moreover, it's able to play videos on all types of browsers. A disadvantage is that you cannot see the first frame of the video like in the original code. Anyway, who want's to see just the first frame? Compatibility is the key to be a good web programmer.

Yes many browsers cannot support the FLV format directly embedded into them, because of this youtube has a flash player (swf format) that opens the flv's and plays them with the gui (play, pause, timeline etc). Clever work around. Nice work.

Bug In Opera - How Can I Fix This?
(2) Well, there's something really annoying happening in Opera. I have a table, with this code

#646464; border-bottom: 1px solid #646464" Well, this should normally show a border with
the color #646464 which is a gray color on the right and bottom of the table. Firefox and Internet
Explorer understands that, and shows me a border with the right color. But Opera doesn't show

Browser Altering Font Size

know you can use an image, but that makes the site too big. I also am aware of the need to give the
user control, but for particular reasons a particular section of text on the site needs to stay the
same size. It doesn't matter if the text around it is enlarged or decreased. It is just a
particular section. Any suggestions appreciated. Also, as an aside, is there a way you can ....

browser only,( I think). I mention this in case there might be concerns about the anchor tags being
