  • Opera 12 oTransitionEnd Bugs and Workarounds
    Toward the end of April I wrote up my concerns about Opera rendering Webkit prefixed properties and provided several code examples of how that could cause issues for developers. The debate about Opera rendering Webkit seems to have died down and Opera hasn't said anything much beyond their initial…
