I was just tipped off that version 8.50 of Opera for OSX now works with
www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk.

I can confirm that it does.

About bloody time, too.

I think it's a flook and more to do with the Opera devs than those so
called jobcentre web designers. It works in Opera 8.5 sure enough but
not Firefox yet. I thought they were aiming for Firefox compatibility
rather than Opera.

Oh, I'm not going to give even the slightest praise to the idiots that
run jobcentreplus, but I'm more than impressed the guys writing Opera
have fixed whatever it was that made the site not work before, IYSWIM.

Well Firefox on the PC appears to be the main alternative browser these
days.

Where does Firefox fail, though? I just had a look aroud the site with
Firefox 1.0.2 (in 10.3.9) and everything appeared to work fine. I didn't
have the time or the inclination to trawl through the whole site but
everything I tried worked well.

The job search doesn't work.
