I did take a look at
http://d1o203.telia.com/~u266800760/04.htm

First og all this have a tag
<BODY BGCOLOR="ONYX" TEXT="WHITE">
Opera doesn't interpret the color onyx. Therefore the background will the
white (the same as the text).
Question: What other colors doesn't Opera Interpret.

Next Question is special for Norwegian/Danish users.
To see the text you have to press the "change document settings" (the green
one)
After æ,ø or å, will two characters in the word disappear.
Can anyone tell me why?

Opera should interpret the colors in the HTML 3.2 spec, which are:
black, silver, gray, white, maroon, red, purple, fuchsia, green, lime,
olive, yellow, navy, blue, teal and aqua.

You need to end your entities: Write Kjøtt instead of Kj&#248tt.

Probably thousands of other color names.
See Opera executable code and find word Tan
After this word you will the full list of recognized colors.

That is simple. Wrong entities coding. Netscape is more forgiving
so most people think that wrong coding is correct coding.

Here is what is coded on that page:
= Michael Krohn var p&#229 starten av 80-tallet trommeslager og

this entitie should be coded as å mind the semicolon after 9
Opera search for next not alphanumeric character
In this case next character is space so danish #229 is in this particular
place rendered correctly.

= l&#229tskriver i "punkbandet"

but not in this place. Opera skips next TWO characters
and shows only låkriver instead of låtskriver.
And that is very bad. it should stop searching on the first
non-numeric character.

= Kj&#248tt. (Det ryktes at han ble

Similar here: Opera "eats" next TWO characters.

= oppdaget p&#229 en fest mens han satt foran stereoanlegget
= og spilte "lufttrommer".) Kj&#248tt var derimot like mye Helge
= Gaarders band, og sammen med de andre i Kj&#248tt klarte
= de &#229 gi ut Flue,

here, because of space (this is not alphanumeric) nothing is "eaten"

= Urbane problemer, Hue uten sanser og noen andre singler og ep`er.
