Hi all-

 

In attempting to get started with jQuery and jQuery UI, I adapted the jQuery UI "Effects" sample for use on my menu bar of links. I have successfully gotten the links to Bounce, after which they act like normal links and the user is sent on to the linked page. It works great--until I try it in Opera, both 9.1 and 10.5. The effect is never fired, and the user is immediately re-directed.

 

I have tried various approaches using setTimeout() to try to "pause" Opera, by not returning "true" until the setTimeout period expires, using up to 15 secs. of time. Of course, this doesn't make any difference; the only thing that stops Opera long enough to show the animation is disabling the link entirely by returning false from the event handler, which rather defeats the purpose!

 

Has anyone come across this, and/or does anyone have any ideas on how to work around this? The effect is not really vital to my client's site, but there is a need to support Opera and I am concerned there may be issues with jQuery / jQuery UI when used together with Opera.

 

Thanks,
