})();

It works fine in Chrome and Firefox (GreaseMonkey), but it doesn’t in Opera. I get this error:

User Javascript thread
Uncaught exception: TypeError: Cannot convert 'Entries.item(i).getElementsByTagName('div').item(0).getElementsByClassName('content').item(0)' to object
Error thrown at line 30, column 4 in <anonymous function>():

And the question is, what’s wrong?

I’d suggest breaking each piece of this long line into individual steps and find out which of the 8 steps is failing and that should give you a clue:

Links = Entries.item(i).getElementsByTagName('div').item(0).getElementsByClassName('content').item(0).getElementsByTagName('header').item(0).getElementsByTagName('p').item(0).getElementsByTagName('a');

I really have no idea what’s causing the problem. It works for both of us in jsFiddle, just not in the greasemonkey environment. Do you have any other greasemonkey scripts that are modifying the page and changing the DOM on you?

Other than that, the only other thing I can think of is to switch to using document.querySelectorAll() when it’s present. Since that is supported in recent versions of Opera, that may avoid whatever issues your code is having. You can see a sample implementation in this jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/jfriend00/5hJLn/. This selector doesn’t generate exactly the same result as your code with any HTML, but I think it works for the HTML you have. You can consider tweaking the selector if you want. This selector is a little less brittle because it doesn’t rely on the exact position of various tags as much as your code.

The general idea (implemented in that jsFiddle) is like this:

if (document.querySelectorAll) {
    var Links = document.querySelectorAll("#body-con .content header p a");
    // turn the links we found green just to show that the code executed properly
    for (var j = 0; j < Links.length; j++) {
        Links[j].className = "target2";
    }
} else {

    var Entries = document.getElementById('body-con').getElementsByClassName('entry');


    for (var i = 0; i < Entries.length; i++) {

        var EntriesItem = Entries.item(i);
        var Div = EntriesItem.getElementsByTagName('div');
        var DivItem = Div.item(0);
        var Content = DivItem.getElementsByClassName('content');
        var ContentItem = Content.item(0);
        var Header = ContentItem.getElementsByTagName('header');
        var HeaderItem = Header.item(0);
        var Paragraph = HeaderItem.getElementsByTagName('p');
        var ParagraphItem = Paragraph.item(0);
        var Links = ParagraphItem.getElementsByTagName('a');

        // turn the links we found red just to show that the code executed properly
        for (var j = 0; j < Links.length; j++) {
            Links[j].className = "target";
        }

    }
}
