Note that booth of those sites are faulty, in the sence that they do not
validate. Try http://validator.w3.org/
The menu shows up in Opera 7.52 though. Of all the browsers I have tried Opera
is by far the best when it comes to following the W3C standards. It is also
very plesant to use, much better than Mozilla or Konqueror.
