This really depends on what the web site or application is doing. If you code for Opera, then you can be 98% sure that it will work with other browsers because Opera only supports W3 Consortium standards which are industry standards. Now, you may not be able to use that neato-cool proprietary technology to do your work which might mean that the developers have to put more effort into their coding, but you will be fairly certain of compatibility. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
