Funny you should mention Opera. Does it not interest you that Microsoft was 
so scared of Opera that Microsoft websites intentionally sent broken html to 
any browser which identified itself as Opera - so that Opera users would think 
Opera was broken - while sending a different, correct page to people using IE. 

If you can prove to me that you have just arrived on this planet within the 
past two weeks or so, I will consider your question to be legitimate. 
Otherwise, please quit trolling.
