Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)

Support tables

SVG attributes

SVG CSS properties

SVG DOM interfaces

SVG elements

► Events

There is support for listening to any event in the svg module. Some events are not sent by core, for example: activate.

• SVG 1.1 doesn't specify a key-event set, and thus the attributes onkeyup, onkeydown and onkeypress don't register a corresponding event listener for those events.
• In Opera it's possible to install listeners for key-events with DOM, for example: element.addEventListener('keydown', keyhandler-function, false).
• If key-events are used it's vital to use evt.preventDefault() to prevent any key-event that should be handled only by the script from escaping upwards to the UI which may be listening for shortcut keys.

► FPS

• FPS (Frames Per Second) support: Opera enables you to manipulate the speed (frames per second) of your SVG animations using JavaScript by supporting the SVGElement.currentFps and SVGElement.targetFps properties. These properties respectively read and control SVG frames per second; see this Opera reference.

► Integration

Opera supports the following SVG inclusion types.

• In HTML: <object> element
• In HTML: <iframe> element
• In HTML: <embed> element
• In HTML: <img> element
• In CSS: background-image property
• In CSS: list-style-image property

► Interoperability

Some content may fail to render if sent with the wrong MIME-type, or if the namespace declarations are missing.

• The correct MIME-type for svg is image/svg+xml.
• The namespaces to open are svg: http://www.w3.org/2000/svg and xlink: http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink.
• For CSS it should be noted that you must specify length values with units. For example:
  • font-size: 12; in CSS will mean the value is invalid, and thus it will be ignored.
  • This applies to all style elements, style attributes and external stylesheets.
  • The CSS content property can also embed SVG.

► Painting

Support has been added for the buffered-rendering property; see section 11.10.5.

► Printing

SVG is output as a bitmap image to the printer.

• The output is not sent in vector format, thus the clarity of the image may be blurred.

► SVG fonts

• Font switching: Support has been added in the rendering/rasterizing of glyphs in mobile technologies; see Section 3.4 Types of graphics elements.
• SVG fonts in HTML support: Use SVG font files to style your text using CSS (in both HTML and SVG files); see this Opera reference.

Raster Graphics

Opera supports:

• GIF
• JPEG (partial support):
  • Supported:
    • Baseline

• For more information see the X+V developer documentation.

WML 1.3 and 2.0

Wireless Markup Language versions 1.0 to 1.3, while based on an HTML subset, must be considered a separate markup language for most practical purposes. WML 2.0 can better be considered an extension of XHTML Basic with WML 1.3 features. Opera supports WML 1.3 and 2.0 with the following exceptions:

• the columns attribute
• the input formatting code <lang:class>
• the wml:getvar element

Opera supports HTTP 1.0 (RFC 1945) and HTTP 1.1 (RFC 2616) protocols with the following exception:

• Content-Location

Opera does support:

• HTTP response header "X-Frame-Options"
  • This uses a proprietary specification produced by Microsoft with Opera's consultation.
  • It is a security feature that sites can opt into to prevent them from becoming targets of clickjacking.
  • The header has two values:

    X-Frame-Options: DENY
    X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN

  • Further references:
    • See Mozilla developer center: The X-FRAME-OPTIONS response header
    • See MSDN Security and Privacy: Clickjacking Defense

Support table

Offline Web Applications

Support is added for W3C Offline Web Applications implementing the user interface for caching.

This allows documents to communicate with each other regardless of their source domain, and is designed in a way which does not enable cross-site scripting attacks. See this demo.

Unicode character set support in Opera

Opera can work with all the characters in the Unicode specification.

• All text communicated to Opera from the network is converted into Unicode.
• In order for Opera to render Unicode characters, the needed glyphs have to be available in the fonts on your system. This might be a problem for older Windows systems. For information on available fonts, see Unicode fonts for Windows computers.
• Updated Unicode character data tables from Unicode v5.0.0 to v5.1.0.
• Uniblocks table now supports ranges outside Unicode plane 0. This is needed to do proper font-switching of characters outside the Unicode plane 0.

Opera implements the following writing system related functionality improvements:

• font-switching: needed in order to display characters that the current font does not include
• line-breaking: needed in order to break scripts written without spaces, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
• CJK: improved line height and underlining in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
• KDDI emojis: improved support for KDDI emojis and special characters
• Multistyle: improved default fonts for non-western Web pages

Opera relies on the operating system to perform:

• character shaping: contextual glyph selection, ligature forming, character stacking, combining character support, etc.

Legacy encoding support

Support table

Legacy encodings in addition to Unicode

Although Opera works with the Unicode character set and its character encodings of UTF-16 and UTF-8, most text on the Internet is encoded in legacy encodings, for instance:

• ISO 8859-1
• Windows-1251
• Shift_JIS (MIME name)
• EUC-KR

Opera handles this by detecting the character encoding used, and converting it to UTF-16. The user has three options for how to handle these pages.

• Auto-detect: in this mode Opera will attempt to detect the encoding used by the page
  • If the transport protocol provides an encoding name, that is used
  • If not, Opera will look at the page for a charset declaration
  • If this is missing, Opera will attempt to auto-detect the encoding, using the domain name to see if the script is a CJK script, and if so which one
  • Opera can also auto-detect UTF-8
• Writing script auto-detect: In this mode the user can tell that this is a Japanese or Chinese page, but that the encoding is unknown. Opera will then analyze the text in the page to determine which encoding is used.
• Encoding override: In this mode the user selects an encoding. This encoding will be used by Opera, regardless of what the page and transport protocol claims is the encoding for the page.

Support for bidirectional text

Opera supports bidirectional text as described in Unicode, HTML, and CSS.

Web storage in Opera can be configured using preferences in the "Web Storage" section in opera:config

• Opera supports the ability to create databases:
  • Store data in a more structured manner
  • Query data using SQL
• See: W3C Web SQL Database

Web storage in Opera can be configured using preferences in the "Web Storage" section located in opera:config

• Opera supports the following web storage tools:
  • Session storage: offers a temporary storage of data
  • Local storage: stores data for a longer period until you explicitly clear it
• Support has been added for the window.opera.scriptStorage property for user scripts alone.
  • This property returns a Storage object as specified in the W3C Web Storage API Section 4.1: The Storage interface, and is unique per script.
  • User scripts can use this object to share presistent data across web pages.
  • Script storage objects currently do not fire storage events.
  • The scriptStorage object has limited quota, defined in opera:config.
• Opera does not currently support:
  • Structured storage
  • Storage mutex
• See: W3C Web Storage

Support table

Web Workers API

Support is added for W3C Web Workers, which is an API for running scripts in the background independently of any user interface scripts.

This allows for long-running scripts that are not interrupted by scripts that respond to clicks or other user interactions, and allows long tasks to be executed without yielding to keep the page responsive. See this demo.

Support tables

Opera Widget specification

W3C Widget Packaging and Configuration

Opera supports both the W3C Widget family of specifications and the legacy Opera Widgets format. The formats are different and not compatible. Opera Presto supports the proprietary Opera Widgets format for legacy reasons:

• The Opera Widgets format predates the W3C's effort to standardize widgets.
• Significant aspects of the W3C Widgets family of specifications are based on Opera Widgets.

Further information regarding Opera Presto support for the W3C Widgets family of specifications and the Opera proprietary Widgets format will be posted here as it is implemented.

Opera supports widget.preferences; see the W3C Widgets 1.0: APIs and Events.

Opera security model for widgets

► network="public"

The Opera security model for widgets declares that widgets do not have network access on by default. In order to enable network access for non-intranet sites, add a network attribute to the widget element in the config.xml of your widget with the value "public". For example:

  <widget network="public">
    ...
  </widget>

This will make your widget work as intended in Opera 10, but will not affect previous versions. Older browsers will simply ignore the network attribute and give your widget access as per the existing security model.

► network="private" and network="public private"

The widget element attributes network="private" and network="public private" can enable network access for either private networks, public networks, or both. For example:

  <widget network="private">
    ...
  </widget>

  <widget network="public private">
    ...
  </widget>

Overview

Opera supports XML 1.0 and XML 1.1, and can parse and display XML documents.

• Opera can be both a validating and non-validating processor.
• Documents with Content-type text/xml, application/xml or with a subtype ending on +xml will be treated as an XML document.
• If a content-type is not available, the ".xml" file extension will also make the document be treated as XML.
• Opera does not use US-ASCII as the default character set for text/xml, but otherwise follows RFC3023.
  • Opera follows the rules for application/xml.
  • We recommend using application/xml instead of text/xml, and the use of an explicit character set declaration such as charset=UTF-8.

Binary XML, Binary WML (WBXML)

The Opera parser supports Binary XML; see XML Binary Characterization Working Group.

• Its main use case is to handle Binary WML (WBXML); see WAP Binary XML Content Format
• WBXML is turned on by default for all profiles except minimal.

XForms

Opera does not offer support for XForms; see XForms, but extends support for the HTML5 Forms module as an alternative; see HTML5 Forms module.

XSLT, XPath and XSL-FO

Opera supports XSLT style sheets with the <?xml-stylesheet?> processing instruction; see Associating Style Sheets with XML documents Version 1.0. Opera supports XSLT 1.0 and XPath 1.0 with the following exceptions:

• The namespace-alias element is not supported.
• Opera does not support XSL-FO.

XML namespaces and XML ID

Opera fully supports XML namespaces.

• Namespace support for text/html was discontinued with Opera 9, and is not supported.
• Opera supports the xml:id attribute.

XML Events

Opera supports XML Events and it is used in X+V.

• HTML script and VoiceXML form can be handlers for XML Events.
