Forum Bug?

What's up with the "code" BB tag?

When I use it, I get a purple rectangle with nothing in it, and the text that should have gone in it appearing underneath in a big block!

This is on Opera BTW...

Testing code tag.

It seems ok. Can you provide a screenshot? What version of Opera are you using?

[Cyker]

This is Opera 6 in Windows.

I just tested with IE and Firefox and Opera 7 in Linux and the bug doesn't occur with them... guess it's an Opera 6 problem... :(

Any chance of a fix anyway? :D

Mmm, I think I found where Opera is going tits-up:

The line that renders that box looks like this:

<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:6px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;">Testing code tag.</div></pre>

If you move the <div> tag so it comes before the <pre> tag, like this:

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align:left;"><pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:6px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">Testing code tag.</pre></div>

It seems to render okay.
Annoyingly however, Opera 6 won't make a scrollable window, so if the height parameter is too small, the code text will spill off the bottom and actually get overlaid with any other text :(

Gah! I need a better browser, but Opera 7 sucks, Firefox is too resource hungry and IE is just a pain in the proverbial...

What do you not like about Opera 7?
