Hi,
do you know how to enable HTML editor in Opera browser?
I have tried using " mask as Firefox" and "Identify as firefox", but it did not work. The HTML editor did not appear.
Thanks
I've the same problem and still have no answers.
try mask as IE,
it works for me

Opera, and also Safari and Google Chrome do not work the html editor - so you really need Firefox or Internet Explorer
In what way does Safari not work with the html editor? I hand code bits in Safari on the iMac at home without problems, or am I misunderstanding? Is the html editor plain text (as I'm assuming) or WYSIWG?
Well...yes and no... it's a long story really. People are here just talking about html editor like we had only one editor but Opera has worked since Opera version 9.5 also with HTMLArea (current default editor of all versions of moodle before 2.0) if it is masked to be IE - but it is not a good choice to mask a browser to be another browser for each site separately...
Also current Chrome would work pretty well with old HTMLArea with a tiny change to moodlelib.php (function can_use_html_editor) and htmlarea.php that do not allow Chrome to use HTMLArea even if it could...
And moodle 2.0 will have TinyMCE that works fine with all of these browsers but unfortunately current stable versions of moodle will be using HTMLArea as the one-and-only-possible-default-editor for the rest of their life...
In addition to this latest Safari works very well with TinyMCE, FCKEditor and CKEditor, Xinha, YUI RTE and some other html editors but not with HTMLArea...
OK - we have a couple of workarounds to change HTMLArea to TinyMCE also in moodle 1.6...1.9 - but the easiest solution is really to use Firefox (3) or Internet Explorer (7) with current stable versions of moodle. It may surprise some moodlers in the coming months but also IE8 may stop working with popups like image plugins or smileys with certain configuration in Vista http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-18645
MS has not fixed that bug in IE8 and I just noticed this morning that automatic upgrading is already installing IE8 to your default browser... so I cross my fingers and hope that unregistered dll file problem occurs only in minimal number of cases and is caused by some non common plugin of IE...
you're right, maskign as IE and it works.
however, it seems to has border for each and every icon.
Well, I would just inform the teacher about this solution if not suggest to her to use the Firefox.
thanks!

Masking Opera to play IE is not a fully functional solution for HTMLArea. You can easily change a couple of lines in lib files of moodle and HTMLArea to make HTMLArea partly working with Opera (latest versions) - read http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=35939 - but Moodle 2.0 will have a totally different editor anyway, TinyMCE, that supports all modern browsers.
