Content Preferences
Control the display of Web page content.
Press Page Down and Page Up to switch slides
Frames
If you disable frames, pages that use frames will display alternative content if available.
If you disable inline frames, alternative text will be displayed in place of inline frames.
To see how Web pages with frames are constructed, enable frame borders. When you view framed pages, the currently active frame will always be outlined.
Styling
You can choose whether to show forms and scroll bars in Web pages in the standard style or allow them to be styled differently.
Style options
Click "Style options" to edit Opera's main presentation modes.
Opera has two modes for viewing Web pages. "Author mode" lets you see a Web page as its author intended, while "User mode" lets you view the page in your own style.
You can select which mode to use as a rule, and you can edit display settings for each mode. Note that "My fonts and colors" and "My link style" refer to the settings in the Web page preferences.
Tip: To switch between the two modes while browsing, press Shift+G, or use the drop-down button on the view bar.
My style sheet
Click "Choose" to select a personal style sheet to use. Note that the default "user.css" is a blank file. This style sheet will not be listed on the Style menu.
Multimedia
Disabling GIF animation will make animated images in GIF format display as ordinary graphics.
Disable sound in Web pages for example if you listen to music from your computer and do not want to be interrupted by sounds generated by Web pages.
Note that disabling sounds in Web pages will also disable Voice.
JavaScript
JavaScript is a scripting language used to add functions to Web pages. JavaScript may in rare cases be used intrusively and can therefore be turned off completely, but note that this will also disable well-intended use.
Click "JavaScript options" to prevent JavaScript from performing certain actions you may find annoying, such as manipulating browser windows.
If you have User JavaScript files on your computer, you can select one or multiple User JavaScript folders to use for local dynamic altering of Web sites.

Tip: To get technical information about JavaScript problems on a page, turn on the JavaScript console.
Java
Some sites use Java to offer interactive content on Web pages. If you do not have Java installed, Opera will automatically offer to take you to a download site when you encounter such content. Disable Java if you do not want to run Web-page Java applets on your computer.
Plug-ins
Many multimedia files on the Web require third-party software, known as plug-ins, to be played.
You may completely disable plug-ins. Then you will only see files that Opera can display by itself.
