From: Lee Atkinson Subject: .... Will Opera ignore the for and event arguments and therefore run the code when it parses the HTML, or will it ignore the block completely? At the moment, my tests show that the code is being run on parsing - i would prefer for the code not to run. The way to code around this for other non-IE browsers is to specify the type to be "text/jscript", but since Opera supports JScript, this does not work. Any suggestions? I guess I could test to see if the argument in the event attribute 'anargument' is defined in the code?
