Opera 7.2 installs Sun's 1.3.1 JRE, so that's fine. Microsoft's JRE froze somewhere around 1.1.4 when Sun terminated the licence after MS tried to add Windows-only features.
BRL/Rob - BRL, thanks for checking, seems like we have the same problem. Opera's website says
If, despite this, JavaScript does not appear to work properly in Opera, there are two possible reasons:
1. A bug in Opera or a feature which hasn't been implemented yet.
2. The site uses proprietary JavaScript extensions, and is written for specific browsers (usually Internet Explorer or Netscape 4).
I've tried turning every privacy option I can find off, with no luck. I'm guessing it's down to Opera and not just me fiddling with the options and b*ggering it up, but no idea if it is 1 or 2. I'll email the Met office and see if they've got any ideas (at least, any that they'll admit to me). It's a very minor irritation, and i'm impressed enough with the browser to spend my 20 euros

ok, it is a Javascript problem - after playing with the options a console pops up saying
Javascript URL thread: "javascript
:StepFwd();"
Error:

at least I know what it is...
