the great layout challenge
So I have decided to tackle the well-known Opera / Wordpress issue with the post editing page. It seems that Opera 7+ lays out fieldsets differently from IE and Firefox, or rather doesn't lay them out at all. It just throws them in on top of each other, not next to each other as do the other browsers.
So what I did was to wrap each fieldset on the post.php page in a div (bad semantics, but if it works I won't complain) with this CSS:.xxx {
clear: all;
float: left;
margin: 2px;
padding: 0;
}
I removed the categories fieldset as all of my posts are in General, but other fieldsets disappeared, some at random. Resizing the window had some funny effects, but I do not doubt that a more masterful CSS hacker couldn't take this and run with it.
