   Opera has its pluses and its minus.  It has problems with caching I    
   believe.  If you turn it off, it seems to work better.  Chris Wies and    
   others concur and experience the same type of things.   
      
   The one thing I see it do alot is show a blank login form page when you    
   try to log in. Hitting refresh MIGHT show it.  We tried anything to tell    
   OPERA not to cache these, including adding META no-cache lines header    
   lines to the form page.   
      
   I'll take a better look at your comments below to see if there is    
   anything new we didn't know already.  Off hand, I didn't think it had a    
   problem with frames as I tried to use all three, IE, FF and OPERA during    
   various phases of my work. I don't recall an Opera issue, but then again    
   , maybe the fact I had my caching off in Opera, it might have made it    
   behave better.   
      
   I'll check that, but I will say, there is NO answer for the LOGIN FORM    
   problem where it shows a blank page when using the COOKIE based    
   authentication method.  Its fine in BASIC/DIGEST otherwise.  I had    
   contacted the Opera people about this and got an initial inquery for a    
   illustrative example which I gave them via WINSERVER.COM. But I have not    
   heard anything since.
