Answer 1

Good day people,

I too have the same problem with Opera 10.63 and Windows.

The hack suggested by Javier Canizalez works, but only as long as I don't reuse the dialog (and the textarea) again. However, this is not the case. With his hack, after the page is loaded and I click on an item, I display a dialog that was previously hidden (display:none) with textarea inside it. Everything works fine the first time (with the hack). After closing the dialog /* $(dialog).hide()); */ and reusing it again by clicking on another item, the hack does not work anymore and javascript/jQuery does not get the new typed value anymore until a full page reload.

I found at one of the links given above that the guys at opera have fixed that problem: PATCH-287 But it does not seems fixed to me :) I wrote a question there and will see if they'll reply: opera patch-287

Has someone managed to get a workaround this?

Thank you and best regards.
