Hmm, it's kind of crippled without cookie support, isn't it.  Not that I'm
a fan of the way so many sites mis-use cookies, but when they're used the
right way, cookies are a goshdarn excellent browser feature.

I hope it has cookie support.  Otherwise, there's somthing kinda scary
aboutthis COOKIES.DAT in my user directory!

Hey!  I see a cookies.dat file in my user directory too.  That's very
interesting.  Hmm.  Darn thing's binary (boo! hiss!) but anyway, as far as I
can tell, the cookies feature in Opera 3.60 is forgen borken.  If you know
how to make 'em work, I'd love to know (so I can tell users how if they ever
ask).  I've got "Enable Cookies" checked in the Advanced Preferences dialog
box, and yet it won't remember cookies on two different pages that Navigator
and Exploiter do just fine.

What sites are these?  I'll try them with mine.

Seriously, I have Opera 3.60 and it works beautifully.  It has JavaScript with
an amazing feature:  You can have JavaScript on for all the cool onmouseover
stuff, but you can shut off window create so those stupid banners don't pop-up!

Excellent!

It's really worth getting.  Even if you don't have a problem with NS/IE's
Hard-drive clogging, slow loading or constant crashing.

But it doesn't do <DL></DL>.  :-(

Mine does it just fine.  How were these tags used?

It passed this short test with flying black-on-grey:

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Definition List Test</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>

<DL>
<DT>Spoon</DT>
<DD>A small shovel used to get pudding into ones face.</DD>
<DT>Fork</DT>
<DD>A small fork used to fork pork into ones pudding.</DD>
</DL>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Maybe you (or whomever the author was) didn't close a tag.

(...) I can't give out the URLs because they're private LUGNET-admin pages, but one that you could test which uses the same cookie-storage code is this: (URL) guess is: If a website named www.foo.com sends a cookie labled .foo.com, that Opera (...) (25 years ago, 8-Sep-99, to lugnet.publish)
