In Opera 8.01 (Linux; Build 1204) and in Opera 7.54 (Windows XP; Build

It is a bug, and it's a very annoying one that is hard to work around.
The only suggestion I have is to use a timeout thread for the test - it
can be a very short timeout, still seems to fix it. Is that a workaround
that may work for you?

setTimeout('document.createElement("form");/* bug detection here */', 1);

Thanks; it just might. I'm a little paranoid, though, that all we can see
is that it *seems* to fix it; without knowing what's really happening,
I'm worried that the bug may pop back up in some other combination of
script and HTML files to be loaded, or who-knows-what-else.

But it's definitely worth my time to do more testing with. Thanks!
