Opera doesn't support cross-origin XMLHttpRequests yet. You can either use JSONP (if you control the origin server for the data or they have a JSONP option) or detect the "no transport" error and show an error message to the website visitor. Opera 12 should support what you need, but try to avoid using browser detection to show the "not supported" message.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
