Web Forms 2.0 may now be used in browsers other than Opera by incorporating the cross-browser webforms2 implementation: http://code.google.com/p/webforms2/

I just stuck with Opera when implementing custom validation. Opera doesn't get attention to willValidate attribute set to false -- it wants validate fields anyway. sad
For other browsers I use WebForms 2 library and it works as expected. I just don't know how to fix it in Opera. See my test page.
BTW, is it known bug or I should report it?

Other two things related to WebForms 2 that I found broken in Opera are:
Mail: 9.27 • Primary: 10.63 (has annoying UI regressions: inability to detach tab normally, passes source file w/o extension to external editors) • Secondary: 11.64
