Version 3
Opera 3 was the first version of Opera with JavaScript support, but Java was still missing. It was released for multiple operating systems on December 31, 1997.
In 1998, Opera 3.5 was released, adding Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) support and file upload capability.
Since version 3.5, Opera has supported CSS, and Håkon Wium Lie, one of the inventors of CSS, is the CTO at Opera. Up to 6.0 Opera supported most common web standards, Netscape plugins and some other recent standards such as WAP and WML for wireless devices, but its implementation of advanced ECMAScript (better known as "JavaScript") and the HTML Document Object Model was poor.
Version 3.6 was released on May 12, 1999.

Famous quotes containing the word version:
“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
