Before today, I never knew that BMW made an M12. I just checked their site and found no mention of it. I found out about when I was reviewing a site submission to the X Personal Homepages category and found some pictures (that he may have yanked from another site).
Wow. That’s one mean-looking car.
The ‘remember info’ checkbox on my comment pages didn’t work in Opera. I would type in my name and URL, check the ‘remember info’ box and when I returned, the information was gone. I surmised that Opera didn’t support the Javascript being used to store the cookies. Later, I discovered a web site using a Movable Type template that saved my information in Opera. My quest to figure out why mine didn’t work began. I compared the code on the working site with my site. Identical. Three hours later, I discovered the reason.
The javascript code that retrieves the cookies and populates the fields was not being called on my site because it was within a nested table. This is a known bug on Netscape 4 but apparently it’s an issue in Opera too.
I moved the javascript code outside of the tables and it now works, unless you reload the page. For some reason reload doesn’t run any javascript unless it’s in the <body>’s onLoad() function. I don’t imagine too many people will reload the page. At least I no longer have to type in my name and URL every time I make a comment.
