how much different is opera when it comes to building web pages.?

Question

I'm not a pro and i'm trying to improve my home page. I'm using frontpage as my editor but i'm writing the html. When i put up the page it looks a whole lot different in Opera Web Browser. the colors grey and green are totally different.
Also I embedded a stream from a radio station but i cant stop it from autostarting in Opera. I used
< object param name="autostart" value="false"/>,
" "playonclick" value="true" />,
,
but nothing works in Opera.
IE7 works ok and so does firefox except for a minor problem with frames.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Probably because you're writing non standards compliant code that only works on IE. Opera, Firefox, and other such browsers are standards compliant. IE is not, it does a great deal of things wrong.

"When i put up the page it looks a whole lot different in Opera Web Browser. the colors grey and green are totally different. "
Hope you learned your lesson. From now on, write your code to work in Opera/Firefox, then fix to deal with IE.

"Also I embedded a stream from a radio station but i cant stop it from autostarting in Opera."
Because you're doing it wrong.

EDIT:
"IE7 works ok and so does firefox"
Seriously, it works on Firefox? Did you validate your website to check if the code was correct?
