Why does Trivantis hate the Opera browser?
December 23, 2011 12:00 AM
This is becoming an increasing concern for me.
My Lectora based training is now being expanded into Europe and Asian and as a consequence, I am beginning to hear from learners about not being able to use Opera.
I brought this issue up several times over almost two years and despite sending Trivantis a simple Javascript correction to fix this problem, Lectora still does not support Opera.
Let's be clear, this is a bug in Lectora's browser detection process and not a fault with the excellent Opera browser.
Sending ticket #5 or more to Trivantis support now....
BTW, all that is required in order to allow Opera to work are the following changes to the travantis.js file:
OLD
354 this.ns = (name=="ns" && this.v>=4)
355 this.ns4 = (this.ns && this.v==4)
356 this.ns5 = (this.ns && this.v==5)
NEW
354 this.ns = (name=="ns" && this.v>=4)||(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera")!=-1)
355 this.ns4 = (this.ns && this.v==4)
356 this.ns5 = (this.ns && this.v==5)||(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera")!=-1)
It really is that easy so why hasn't Trivantis fixed this javascript file.
