Bizarre column bug in Opera?

Using the class "col2" causes strange effect

I have come across something really odd. I had a bug which in Opera 7 caused the whole page content to be in the right of two columns, each a quarter page wide. I had named my column classes "col1" and "col2" in a two-column layout. What I have eventually found, and have repeated several times, is that renaming "col2" as "rightcol" and changing the DIV class to that as well makes a dramatic difference - lo, I get two columns the right width. Still working on putting them side by side but thats something else. I checked carefully, "col1" does not appear anywhere else in the html document so it isnt due to its effect somewhere else. I wonder if the character string "col2" has some secret meaning in Opera?

Hi MartinS and Welcome To WebmasterWorld!

I wonder if the character string "col2" has some secret meaning in Opera?

doesn't have any meaning as far as I'm aware.. and it sure sounds like a strange phenomenon.

did you validate the CSS and HTML to check punctuation? or Have you a simplified code sample that recreates the "bug"?

although if it now works that's the main thing ;)
