tags are capitalized

Presumably it’s the theme that’s doing this, so I’d suggest looking at all the files in your theme directory, looking for capitalized examples of HREF, SRC, etc. I’d start with index.php, comments.php, single, archive, page, etc.

If you have Dreamweaver or some other editor you could just do a search and replace in the theme folder, making sure that “match case” is checked.

Using Opera? https://trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/3638

Disable the wysiwyg or switch browsers to make posts.

Ooooh! Good work, Handy!

Well, to be honest… I wrote that trac ticket, so when I saw this post it sounded familiar.

I am looking forward to hear from TorS now about which browser is in use.

I have now upgraded to WP 2.2 and the problem persists. There is another one, too. In connection with class=alignrigt (or -left) paragraphs are broken. Only a part of it remains on the side of the image while the rest is rendered below.

(Sorry, I did not notice your posts before I posted my own follow up.)

I use Opera 9.20. When you say disable wysiwyg, do you mean in Opera or WordPress?

Checked things with Firefox. Both issues non-existant. I do need a fix that would allow me (and the rest my family, not least) to post legit XHTML in WordPress, using Opera.

Which is why we have that issue opened in trac (link provided earlier in this topic).

Yes, good. I wasn’t aware of the significance of that fact. Please note also the second issue: Paragraphs which should have been floated left or right are broken and the end part rendered below.

Update:

-Upgraded Opera 9.20 to 9.21 today. It made no difference.
-If you by disabling wysiwyg mean run Opera without css, well that makes no difference either.
-Actually you don’t have to upload anything at all to see this bug. Write a post that includes a href tag. Look at in in “code”. Rewrite HREF as href. Switch view to “visual” and back again to “code”. It’s all caps HREF again. I am planning to disable the validation link on my blog because it’s embarrassing.
-I have filed a bug report with Opera – if for nothing else than to eliminate it from the list of suspects.

What Handy means by disabling wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) is stop using the rich-text editor, which is on by default. You’ll find the setting in your user profile.

Oh great! Thank you. I am more familiar with the code view anyway so I won’t miss the bugger.

Opera says (in a mail to me earlier this month):

this appears to be a possible bug in Opera, depending on the JavaScript specification. We will look into whether this should be fixed by us or in the tinyMCE code.

It’s in good hands then, I guess.
