Yeah, if you're going to use things that are still in flux,
you need to be prepared for disappointments.
|The 4shared thing really was fixed.

2 steps forward; one step back.

That's actually JScript, which is Micros~1's "interpretation" of JavaScript.

This doesn't make sense to me. Opera has its own JavaScript engine.
I was always under the impression that the JScript engine is for IE.

So, the latest iteration of Opera's (included) JavaScript engine (Carakan)
is apparently buggy still, but I'm surprized you are having problems with
the formally-released version of Opera and its included JavaScript engine.
...and, of course, *your* level of pleasure with the software
will depend on *which* commands in the language get used when you surf.
...making bug reports from users vitally important.

Again, to all: This is the worst version of the world's worst browser.
Government agencies of France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA
have advised against using it.
Companies worldwide have stopped supporting it
or are in the process of dropping support for it.
Google dropped support for IE6 March 1, 2010.
FREE alternatives include Firefox, SeaMonkey, K-Meleon, and Opera.
