Oh wow! See what I mean. It turned almost my whole comment into a link, which was not the intended result. Although it makes it very easy for you to go to the Opera webpage, which certainly isn’t a bad thing in my book.
As you can see, I’ve taken the liberty of unlinking your entire post. It needed to have a </a> tag to end the link.
I’m not aware of any comment preview feature, though it’s a nice idea! On the topic of Opera, it sounds like a great browser by all accounts — just a pity it costs! I know that Firefox will display this particular site though, as that’s what I develop for.
So, the reason that I didn’t include the closing </a> tag is that I figured the comments engine might be using a one-tag version of links, due to the presence of a “title” option in the tag. I believe that slashdot has a “url” tag that handles everything.
As for Opera, you don’t have to pay for it. It’s kind of like shareware - if you like it, you can buy a copy to support further development and add a couple of features (or more specifically, remove the banner add at the top). Go to “Downloads” on the top menu bar of http://www.opera.com. I’ve been using the free version for about 2 years now and really like the interface, much more than Firefox’s interface.
Thanks a ton, MDA! As you can see below, this site now features live, real-time comment previews! Woot!
