Opera Preps v7.60 Web Browser
Posted: 23rd Nov, 2004 By: MarkJ
Opera, a popular commercial website browser, is preparing to launch its v7.60 client and has today spoken of the expected improvements. No more 'horizontal' scroll bars?:
Opera 7.60 will include new rendering technology that will cut out the need for horizontally scrolling across Web pages, regardless of screen size. The same technology also means that online content can be printed on any size of paper without cutting off the edges. The browser will also contain an accessibility feature that allows uses to magnify Web pages and view them without scrolling sideways.
The renderer uses a combination of techniques: reflowing page elements where possible, and resizing them to fit where necessary. Depending on how a Web page has been written, this can result in either a rescaled version of the page, or some elements being pushed to the bottom of the page.
Hopefully this feature is an option by default and one that's initially disabled; forcibly re-displaying the content of a website using different parameters doesn't always work. More @ ZDNet.
