Floating Element Bugs Opera 3.51's handling of floating elements threatens to make floating elements harder for web designers to use and to encourage the use of HTML tables for layout. Furthermore, Opera does not follow the rules defined in the CSS1 specification for the vertical alignment of floating elements and text surrounding them. It also produces extraneous line breaks around floating DIV s. Border Problems Opera also has a number of problems with borders. Image borders and padding also do not work.
Opera also handles background and borders on inline elements incorrectly.
This is incorrect. This problem is visible on the links in this page, where the background has extra padding above and below the link.

There are also two problems with background images. Tiling of background images should begin at the padding edge, but it begins at the border edge.
