Thanks for your responses guys. I actually need to detect the Opera browser and serve up a load of new CSS. Opera doesn't support negative vertical span margins, so I'm gonna have to reduce the font-size of some text.
I don't know of a 'hack' to target Opera 10, so JS is the only way to go. I can cover my back with conditional comments regards IE, but I'm still left with my Opera issue.
