Opera Broke My Page!

It would appear that Opera 7.54 for the Mac doesn't like my layout.
Since I've added a search box to the page, it has taken all my
navigation links and bunched them together. Works fine in all the other
browsers I've tested it on. Why would things go so astray in Opera?

Thanks for the input Michael.

My title was a bit tongue-in-cheek, as I'm sure it's far more a fault
of my coding than Opera's rendering ability. But I will agree that
it's a bit more frustrating of a browser to work with than most others.
When you provided the extra Opera CSS, did you present it as a link on
the page leading to an alternate style sheet, or did you use some other
method?

And I guess it would help a little to list the URL of the page Opera's
rendering strangely: http://www.sunriveronline.org/misc/clrn

Opera 7 (not just the Mac version) had some problems with floats inside
positioned elements. It seems to be fixed in Opera 8.

I would strongly suggest not absolutely positioning the nav bar.
There's no real need to do so and by not doing so you reduce the
chances of part of the navbar vanishing behind the search box when
users of any browser increase the font size (or simpler have a larger
default font size than you anticipated).
