Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-21 17:12:25] bjori@php.net Wait, the <base> tag ending in a /foobar.php is actually a problem for Opera? Since when? This part of the website hasn't changed since 2002, maybe 2003... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-21 10:11:54] mytskine at gmail dot com Description: ------------ When loading the page http://php.net/manual/en/ (and possibly others) no CSS is applied with Opera 12. Removing the BASE tag from the header fixes the problem. There are 2 errors in this tag: 1. It should point to a base URL path, yet it ends with "index.php". 2. The tag should not be closed as the doctype isn't xhtml[^1][^2]. An alternative to fixing the tag would be to remove it completly as it is useless (at least on this page).
