I'm trying to get the Javascript on this page:
http://alexking.org/projects/js-quicktags/demo/index.html
To work on Opera Mobile 10+. But it doesn't seem to work because Opera sets complete focus on the text area so buttons can't be clicked.
On IE it works fine, but that doesn't have tabs, so no use to me.
Are there any Opera settings I can change for this?
OK, solved this myself. Latest Opera Mobile won't work with this, but the installed default on HD2 will.
Moved as not software release.

as in, when i click on a link in google maps, i want it to browse with opera mini and NOT PIE
side question, whats the diff between opera mini and the full opera mobile?
other than the fact that i need to pay
thanks
Did you search or RTFM???
Launch Opera, then Menu-Tools-Settings-Misc-and place a check mark next to Set Opera as Default. Not too hard to do.
As far as your second question is concerned, I'd suggest www.opera.com.
Opera mini isn't as easy as that.

So sorry. I'm using Opera 8.65 for Windows Mobile. It was real easy to make it my default browser. I still think Searching is a good idea.
Sorry about the misunderstanding
There is Opera MINI and Opera MOBILE
for mobile i know how to set cuz it's an exe file
but since MINI is a java base file and requires a midlet, i had to ask for more advice on how to do it
and as i suspected
it's more complicated than i thought
Thanks for trying to help, though, kimtyson
is it just me or does opera browser (the one u buy) suck really bad? does it completely miss the zoom functionality that opera mini has????
am I missing something?
I would agree. I had a little play with Opera 9.5 beta but it was not as intuative as OperaMini. Certainly it did not have the full zoom out feature that makes OperaMini a great browser.
Regards
opera mini rocks ... opera mobile sucks .. it would be nice if they had a setting where i could define default zoom so i don't have to zoom in 100 times to get the text size that is good for me ...
hands down opera mini is better.
okay so im not crazy... I just don't understand why they wouldn't include the full page zoom functionality in their retail app... that's really the only reason to go outside of PIE anyways..
only problem with opera mini is that it sits in java and doesn't have the integration abilities that opera browser does but these nifty scripts people have created are making that more seamless... Opera really needs to get on the ball and make opera browser intriguing.
type opera:config in the address bar to fine tune the zoom options
make sure you read my past Opera Mini-related articles, where I thoroughly compared the two browsers.

Nope haven't seen that one... search for opera mini is like finding a needle in a haystack though. Got a friendly link?
Also... on the post about running opera:config in the address bar... does that give you access to some additional options or something? I don't have opera installed anymore atm to test.. does this enable the zoom/out/in functionality like opera mini or something?

Yes you get taken to the advanced options page where you can play with zoom above other things
i guess u guys were referring to the new 9.5 beta... i was referring to the version they have avail on their website.. 8.65 or something? which clearly is nothing compared to this newer version...
i installed the 9 beta and it does seem much better... will be a great release once it goes live.
Hi
I have created (using Google Gears)
http://wtp2.appspot.com/mobile/mobile.htm
Press Select then About for info, be patient on first load whilst the app is stored to Gears repository.
This mobile site is a partner to my desktop UK outdoor pursuits route planning site at http://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm
The mobile site works OK ish on my HTC Touch HD (WinMo 6.1 pro). However from time to time, especially after powering off with GPS watch on, I end up with a blank page. I suspect that the Java Script engine has stopped. All generally comes right with a hard exit and restart of Opera 9.7 (beta 35166). Oh and the effects of rotating the screen are particularly poor.
I would be interested to find out how well the site works on other HTC phones or if anyone knows some tips for helping Opera Mobile 9.7 to keep running.
Thanks.
This is another one of my multi-site threads, allright now lets get started with my claims. I will start with talking about the very first version of opera mobile ive ever used, it was 8.5.x it loaded the PC versions of every site BUT it would often cry low memory and then crash and it would also not display text right (larger than normal even with settings on minimum) and when i would type it would input large spaces in between words and yet we were expected to pay $29.99 for it (were they crazy?).
Now that i am on my HTC touch pro which comes with opera 9.5 preinstalled it runs pretty stable but there are still problems.
-it cries low memory even tho i have plenty of RAM free and then stops loading a webpage.
-regular links dont respond when i click them unless i do it about after 20 times or so
-mobile site redirects (but this is fixed with the UA hacks)
-rendering problems on sites, certain boxes dont pop up (ie. facebook friend request dialogs.),cant respond to messages on myspace.com or compose new ones, this means i cant do a new browse when away from the computer.opera officials and tech bloggers cite that opera mobile has excellent ajax and web standards support tho my experience is quite the opposite.
-when typing the screen does not scroll over as i type.
-CANT even close it or access it from the task manager unless you do some hacking.
-links sometimes dont respond unless i pull out stylus or press on it multiple times.
-CANT render the frames on my schools student websites properly (ie blackboard NOTE: PIE does this perfectly)
-CRASHES when trying to access ppcgeeks.com
I've also tried most of the opera 9.7 betas and its improved all issues I've had with opera 9.5 except:
-mobile site redirects are worse even with the UA hacks
-screen corruption problems when i recieve a text message, email or IM
-tap and hold menus sometimes dont work
-still cant send messages on myspace and other networking sites
now we are at opera 10 the latest beta suffers these problems
-memory hog
-graphics on sites are pixelated
-does not play nice with OzIM
-mobile redirects are solved with UA hacks tho i would like to see them resolved without having to do this.
-STILL cannot send messages on myspace and tagged.com but at least can send friend requests and access notifications on facebook so thats an improvement.
-when typing with the touch screen, the type cursor moves back to the top line which causes me to have to use the hardware keyboard when typing 2 line messages.
WHY cant they get it right? the iris browser does not suffer these problems only thing i dont like about it is theres no text reflow when zooming in IM not giving them any of my $$$ until all these problems are resolved and also if it will have flash support. has anyone found other issues other than those i have reported? and is there a build of opera mobile that does not suffer these issues, if so can i have a link to it?
Sorry to hear you had such bad experience
On mine, Opera Mobile 10 b2 is working great and I´m so happy with it
The new tab selection is just great!
You seem to be having a great many problems, most of which i have not sufferered on any of my devices (diamond, topaz, HD2)
Im currently using opera 10b2 and its working very well.
sometimes i get the "not scrolling as im entering text" problem, and on a rare occasion i have trouble with redirects. but the majority of the time opera performs as i would expect
Maybe you could give more examples of sites you have trouble with and detail the problem. for example you mentioned PPCgeeks crashing but not what the crash was?
I have just visited PPCG and it rendered fine, i clicked a few links and it has all worked as expected prehaps the problems are specific to the version of opera you are running?
It may also be worth reporting your bugs direct to opera, it will allow them to better address shortcomings in their product in the future.

well the crashes on ppcgeeks only occur in 9.5. the rendering problems I have are with ajax for example on the full facebook site I can't comment on status updates or send friend requests because the ajax boxes don't pop up. it works a lot better in version 10 but still not as good as iris or skyfire browser and WOW I just discovered something else. I went to the official opera forums and I couldn't even answer any threads because the reply forms wouldn't appear. the bug report form also didn't appear. that's a shame when a browser doesn't support its own site.
Get the new Netfront. Works fine and highly recommended

Would agree with Orb, using Opera 10 beta 2 and having no issues with it.
Opera 9.7 and 10 both can not render Hotmail right ( when in desktop view ). You can not reply to messages or compose new ones. You just can't type in the message body field. Opera should attend this problem, since it seems like the problem has been out there for a long time.
So I have an HD7 from Tmobile and downloaded Mango 7720 last night. Everything seems like its working perfectly but one problem I am having is with IE9 and HTML5 mobile sites. If I navigate to m.bing.com or m.google.com or even mobile youtube I get the old standard mobile sites NOT the html5 mobile versions. Navigating to Bing mobile is especially bad, I cant even see the full menu of bing services. Does anyone else have this issue? I'm just curious to know if anyone else has this issue before I try to reinstall the update.
Anyone? Maybe the sites don't recognize the browser. Not sure what it is but some people claim these sites come up fine on their phones (except for youtube mobile).
Same here. Weird. Maybe they need some time to integrate Mobile IE9 user-agent code?
However 'enhanced' mobile Facebook works well (touch.facebook.com)

Yes, touch facebook works nicely! Hopefully they impliment the user-agent code soon. I guess since Mango is not officially released they havent implemented it yet.
I'm still having this problem with my HTC Titan running Mango 7740. Surely these sites recognise the ie9 useragent now. Though i'm sure that other Mango users aren't still having this issue, i can't work it out!
Don't worry, you're not alone. Google is a major culprit for me. Its almost impossible to get the newer looking mobile site on my phone, instead it looks like the old barebones mobile site. *shudder*
This is not because IE9 does not support HTML5. It is because your website preference is set to mobile or viceversa.
E.g. if you goto google.com with Desktop mode, you will be presented a majorly cut down HTML google version. However, if you visit with Mobile Profile, you will be presented the HTML5 version
Not even the facebook is that good in my opinion, there are some visual artefacts visible.
Same with dropbox.
And it is missing "swiping" functionality. For example, mobile.theverge.com, you have to tap the small dots, instead of just swiping to the next story.
It's not the mobile/desktop setting. I can actually get to the mobile sites (incl. google) but they all look awful. m.facebook.com goes to the oldschool html4 mobile site. touch.facebook.com goes to the html5 mobile site but it's quite broken and not slick. m.google.com has plain text hyperlinks along the top instead of the graphical tabs seen on other mobile OS's.
I guess it's just a trade-off between having a lovely looking OS and Apps, and not having a decent view of mobile web apps.
