Opera Web Browser .. Wierdness

This is strange.  I'm going to use a directory script so that local businesses can advertise on my Dolphin site.  Have a look, then I'll describe the issue.

.

I've entered a sample ad... do a search for 'golf' and click the ad that comes up.  There's a few issues with IE7 that I have to fix, mainly why the large photos pop up excruciatingly slow.  The same slow behavior also happens when you click on 'View Website' or 'View Larger Map'.

.

I Firefox, the popups open at the correct speed.  There's a few issues with the popups for the website link and the larger map link, but nothing I can't deal with.

.

Here's the wierdness:  In Opera, absolutely none of the page content is displayed.  The Dolphin header/menu and footer(what's left of it) are displayed, but the entire rest of the page is simply gone.  If you view the source in Opera, it's all there.

.

Is it just me?  Have I entered the Twilight Zone?  Is it El Nino?  I don't know much about Opera, and I never use it, I only have it installed to verify that my websites are rendered properly in Opera.  It sure isn't this time.  There's a ton of javascript in use, in this case, but I have no idea what might make Opera unhappy, when everything is basically ok in FF & IE7.

houston, are you calling the photo css in general.css or in page.css (sorry, don't know the page your using here).  If your calling it from templates/tmpl_uni/page.css instead of templates/tmpl_uni or templates/base/general.css then it will load slower. 

 

You can create a special design box for it in html & css and then place that design box in the base/general.css or tmpl_uni/general.css and it will call it faster.  I discovered this when I created my sites profile.css file for the customized profile layout I did.  I load a bit slower but it achieves the desired result.

I'm using Lytebox to display the larger photos.  The directory is contained in a dynamic iframe within a dolphin page, and lytebox.js  is called from the directory app.  Lytebox.css is called seperately in templates/base/_header.html

.

I think there's a patch for the lytebox.js to get it to work properly in IE7, but I haven't tried it yet.

.

I can fix all that stuff.  I just don't know why the page is completely blank in Opera.

I still haven't figured this out.  It's driving me nuts.  It has to be something simple.
