Opera browser and RoboForm Bookmarklet

Hey guys,

I am using Opera 10.01 and I'm trying to install the RoboForm Bookmarklet and not having any luck.

Trying to follow the instructions using Opera, it says to drag the link to the "Bookmarks Toolbar", and then you should see a rectangular box with "Roboform" showing.

I can only drag this link to the side panel in Opera where the Bookmarks are located, but it doesn't produce this rectangular box showing "Roboform".

I do not see a "Bookmarks Toolbar" in Opera, only a side panel for Bookmarks.

Anybody using this RoboForm Bookmarklet with Opera that could give me some advice? I'm sure it's something I'm not doing correctly.

Here's the link.

Thanks.

By the look of the screen shot, it means to drag it to the "personal bar" . I do not know what a "Bookmark toolbar" is and I do not see a "bookmark toolbar" in Opera.

rfnut,

Thanks. I've tried almost every toolbar including the personal toolbar, and still no luck.

The instructions are not very helpful.

I also don't see a "Bookmark Toolbar" in Opera 10.01.

I would really like to use Opera as my main browser but the fact that RoboForm was not supported kept me from doing so.

I just found out about this bookmarklet and really wanted to try it out.

Guess it's back to old reliable Firefox.

Thanks.

Thats very strange. I just did what it said and drug it to my personal bar. Worked just fine.
To ask a maybe stupid question; Are your dragging the correct link?- The one in the upper right hand corner of the page link you gave?

rfnut,

Thanks again. I tried the link you are referring to many times but it would never let me drag it to the personal bar.

I then used the very bottom left icon under the Opera instructions and that is what my problem was.

After reading your last post, I went back and tried the link in the upper right corner that you referred to, and lo and behold, it finally let me drag it to the personal bar.

I still think their instructions should say personal bar instead of bookmark toolbar.

Anyhow, thanks a ton. You were very helpful.

Now I can start playing with Opera and my Roboform bookmarklet.

Thanks.
