Re^5: On Line Book - Exploring Programming Language Architecture in Perl

Maybe it's a problem limited to the version of Opera I use, v8.51, though I get the same effects with v6.06 which I keep around for historical reasons. I tried v9 but didn't like it so I reverted.

If I save the source to a local file and comment out the script tag, it loads and displays. If I copy the contents of book.js and embed them within the local html file, it loads and displays. But if I copy the js to a local file and reference from the local html, I get the blank screen again.

It's probably a browser/version specific bug, and so not worth your while persuing.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

I just tried it on an old FreeBSD Opera and saw the blank screen. I guess I have to fix if it breaks IE (I use any of Firefox, Safari and Konqueror without any problems.) Maybe I need to add a php browser detect to conditionally include the JavaScript. Or maybe I just need to fix the JavaScript.
