Opera 4.0b is something of a disappointment.  Despite Opera promising for
a year and a half that it would support HTML 4 when it came, it lacks
support for much of what was added in HTML 4.  IFRAME is one element it
doesn't support, at least not through beta 3.

(BTW, I'm sure that Michael is aware that the search.html page is totally
unusable with JavaScript disabled, and that he's adding a useful NOSCRIPT
to it. :-)  )
