Why do some Web pages render incorrectly in Opera?
The Opera browser is the strictest supporter of the W3Cs technical standards in the browser market today. This is done to ensure interoperability between browsers and hardware manufacturers, meaning that a Web page made in accordance with W3Cs recommendations is viewable with any browser-application an Internet user chooses. Unfortunately some Webmasters make their sites specific to one or the other browser’s proprietary standards. The result is that some sites effectively shut other browsers out, or their pages may look strange in them. However, this is a transitional problem. With the advent of the wireless Internet, Webmasters must start complying to W3C standards, or else their pages will not be accessible to the majority of the Internet population. The two dominant browsers on the PCs are too bloated to fit into small, handheld devices.
