It does work with Opera 8.0beta1. However, all animations look kinda like  
this:

(tvset broken)
'\ /`
\ /
-----\/---
i\.--------'.
|\| .-----,#|
|\| |/////|:|
|\| |/////|;|
\! `-----' !
"--------"

It's all squashed to the left side of the box.
The Asciimator logo too suffers from that same problem.

something else that i have noticed, the |go back| link looks like this:

|
go back|

but on mouseover, it looks as intended:

<go back>

The other links (the orange ones) do look right.
the solution for that solution would be to set the nowrap attibute on the  
tablecell where that "go back" link is.

Perhaps installing Opera AND Firefox could show you a few other problems.

P.S. Using OPera, i have seen other ASCII-animations that use Java, and  
they look the way they were intended. So the problem must be in the code.
