    Had a quick search for this but as far as I know it's not been posted about yet. In Opera 9 I keep getting blank options in the page list (top and bottom) in articles.

    This is with Opera 9.00, Build 8502. :confused:

    Happens with me too, although it seems to disappear after I click it a few times. Not sure if this is specific to Bit or not...

    I've run a beta of Opera 9 for a while, can't tell you which version as it's on my other box and I'm missing a graphics card, but I've not had that issue at all, nor heard of it. That the latest build? If not then give it a go.

    I seem to remember having that crop up once or twice as well, though in Firefox. A dropdown box is hardly advanced code, so either there was some database misquery or some sort of PEBSAC (problem exists between server and computer, and yes I just came up with that if it hasn't been done before)

    Which article is that Nath? :)

    edit: found it.

    Here's the HTML...

    Code:
    <select name="page" OnChange="location.href=form.page.options[form.page.selectedIndex].value">
    
    <option value="/hardware/2006/07/12/multi_gpu_world_tour_gpus/1.html" selected>1 - Introduction</option>
    <option value="/hardware/2006/07/12/multi_gpu_world_tour_gpus/2.html">2 - ATI's CrossFire Technology</option>
    <option value="/hardware/2006/07/12/multi_gpu_world_tour_gpus/3.html">3 - ATI's CrossFire Technology (cont'd)</option>
    <option value="/hardware/2006/07/12/multi_gpu_world_tour_gpus/4.html">4 - NVIDIA's SLI Technology</option>
    <option value="/hardware/2006/07/12/multi_gpu_world_tour_gpus/5.html">5 - NVIDIA's SLI Technology (cont'd)</option>
    <option value="/hardware/2006/07/12/multi_gpu_world_tour_gpus/6.html">6 - GPU Selection - Entry Level / Mid Range</option>
    <option value="/hardware/2006/07/12/multi_gpu_world_tour_gpus/7.html">7 - GPU Selection - 'Unlimited Budget'</option>
    
    </select>
    
    
    Which looks fine to me - as is the code that produces the drop down. Hmm...

    Next time it crops up view->source and a full copy&paste would be appreciated :thumb:

    The bug's pretty easy to replicate. Just go to an article and use the drop-down to go backwards and forwards a bit and, soon enough, you'll see it.

    The source code is normal - coupled with the fact that it happens fairly randomly, it seems to be a problem with the browser rather than Bit's delivery...
