Just a heads up on some Opera browser behavior...

I just discovered a bit of a quirk of Opera (9.01). When you read the .value of a text field and the text field contains something like "Hello <b>world</b>", opera returns "Hello <B>world</B>". I did not find any way of fixing this, except to not assume lowercase input (which seems obvious to me now :). However, I found this interesting blog post about this upcase behavior and other similar things. Just hope this post can help someone avoid the premature assumption that the browser would return what's actually there :).
