If this is the same problem I thought I had, it's not that GET doesn't work. It's because the browser hides the form name/value pairs in the query string in the Location bar. If you actually go to the location bar and hilite the URL that you submitted to, you'll see the form parameters in the query string. I hate this, but it is the way Opera does it. :-/

submitting GET forms certainly works in Opera. Copying this code to a file and submitting it creates exactly the same URL as in Chrome. Hence, your problem must be something else. Without more information it's impossible to tell what your problem really is.
