I am dealing with a strange error on my site when displayed in Opera that, despite my best efforts, I can not track down and nail.
The error goes something like this. If you look in the sidebar of my site, plagiarismtoday.com, in FF or IE, it looks fine. In Opera, some of the links in the bulleted lists don't show up properly. Words are missing, sometimes all of the text is gone, but the underline and mouseover effects still work swimmingly.
It seems random at first which work and which do not but, after refreshing, the same words are missing.
What makes it strange is that it only happens to certain lists. The Navigation and Blogroll are messed up but the Categories and top commenters lists are not. There are no common style threads or CSS elements between them.
The only connection I found is that WP, when displaying the lists that break, does not add a line break in the code before the closing li. In the ones that work, it does. This is done automatically with the WP functions and I do not control this code.
That would seem to point the finger to a bug in Opera and I have indeed read of several bad bugs in Opera with lists. However, none resemble this.
I'm open to any and all input on this and hope that I am just tired and missing something head-smackingly obvious.
If anyone could lend a hand, I would be very grateful.
CSS Problems?
I see what you're talking about. It's definitely a random problem in that there's no reason why those particular links should be singled out!
You have a dotted effect specified in your CSS file for links. I noticed that - in Opera - the blank entries have dots that are spaced more widely than others or they have a strange bolder dot at the end of the line. Try and remove that effect temporarily and see what happens.
If you need any help troubleshooting send me a PM.
