Is there a similar blocking feature of Opera that you can suggest ? Also in Opera: Uncaught exception: Reference Error: Undefined variable: fixBrokenLink Error thrown at line 39, column 5 in init() in http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html: fixBrokenLink(); called from line 1, column 0 in <anonymous function>(event): init() I haven't reviewed the complete script itself but I have some thoughts about this (comparing behaviour on different browsers). I suspect that when the above is fixed it will take more time in Opera and other browsers throwing errors and (maybe) suspending execution. As a side note, should the browser completely suspend script execution when an event handler fails ? Isn't the error thrown in a different execution context when handling event listeners ? I believe the main execution context should not be suppressed, especially for an undeclared variable in a different context.
