Opera: Script This!

Breaking with Tradition, I’m posting on a Thursday Today I’ve fought long and hard with Opera (7.11) to create a remote scripting library. Well, actually it’s to get the one I use to work with Opera. For many months I’ve used the script built in the O’reilly article: Remote Scripting with IFRAME.

The script works great with IE and Mozilla browsers. User data is submitted through an IFrame created on the fly by the script. The main page is never refreshed by the action. However it may be altered by the results of the submission. For example, an internal app I wrote tracks all our miscellaneous shipments. When inputting, if a Company or Customer doesn’t exist, the script lets a User enter a value which is added to the database. In turn the server portion returns the DB Entry ID and the list of Customers is updated with the new value and the ID.

Opera won’t work with this though. Why, I haven’t totally isolated. Opera doesn’t have very good documents about stuff like this on their site, one thing I would like them to change. I’ll keep try though.
