you use a lot of client-side javascript that I think you shouldn't use

That's probably very true of the code used in the Alfresco Explorer (JSF) client, however the code is Share is much cleaner as I've started a small crusade to clean up this area! :wink:

If you can see particular problems that need fixing for Opera, we'd gladly accept your code contributions for which you'd get full credit.

Thanks,
Mike
