Writing your own Plugins

Opera has got a Plug-in Application Programming Interface (API). You will finde some information and a link to the documentation here on the Opera website. The documentation itself is actually on the Netscape website.

From the Opera website:

Opera is currently implementing the Netscape4 plug-in API. The Netscape4 plug-in API is used in the Netscape4 Communicator/Navigator products. It is also partly supported by Mozilla and the Netscape6? browsers. Opera's implementation is based on a plug-in guide.

Supported plug-ins include Flash viewers, PDF viewers, and TIFF viewers. See the Opera web site for a complete list.

It`s really useful! Looking through the Internet you can mostly observe watered down information, something like bla bla bla, but not here to my deep surprise. It makes me happy..!!

hi Hallvord, thanks for the conmemts.The reality check is that developer time is always a limited resource and there’s a pressure to innovate UI-wise on mass market features that will justify version upgradesI would suggest that Opera support for assistive technology has not been a priority as the business case, for Opera, has not been there. We (TPG) find a big driver for accessibility support implementation for many of our customers is and associated US Government laws, as this directly impinges on a company's business interests in selling into the US federal government market (biggest software buyer in the world), as well as many state governments and NGO's such as educational institutions. I think this has been and continues to affect the priorities of other browser vendors, excepting Mozilla for whom I believe the primary motivator is the desire to do the right thing. But Mozilla are a special case as they are a mission driven rather than a profit driven organisation. This is not to say that other vendors don't want to do the right thing, but it helps justify the costs and resources in supporting accessibility, if there is a tangible $$ return on investment.What Opera appears to lack is a (public) accessibility strategy, unless I have missed something? Opera also does not appear to have a dedicated person or accessibility team, although they do have a lot of talented people involved who are passionate about accessibility.
