Opera 7 beta 2 still has major problems with XHTML, such as absolutely no script executing at all, and frequent crashes. If these issues are resolved before the final release, it will have (I believe) the best support for XHTML of any browser. Gecko, on the other hand, does execute script, but doesn't give you basic HTML DOM things like document.body, which can cause major compatibility problems with existing client-side scripts. Also, neither Gecko or Op7 support document.write in XHTML mode. And making scripts work as both text/html and application/xhtml+xml modes really isn't that fun :) Cheers -- Tom Gilder http://tom.me.uk/
