opacity effect not working in IE

[laertjansen]

Hello everyone.

I´m building a folio gallery and reading the article http://www.w3schools.com/Css/css_image_transparency.asp I decided to apply an oppacity effect on the squares but the problem is that, but as per usual, it is not working on IE.

My gallery is: http://www.laertjansen.com/version02/

I put the code inside a div..like this...could that be the problem? The article only talks about attaching the code to <img>...

<div class="project" border="0" style="opacity:0.5;filter:alpha(opacity=50)" onmouseover="this.style.opacity=1;this.filters.alp ha.opacity=100" onmouseout="this.style.opacity=0.5;this.filters.al pha.opacity=50"><a href="works/itcameoutofthesky.jpg" rel="lightbox[all]" title="Personal concept and illustration. I call it 'It came out of the sky' - October 2008"><img src="thumbs/it_cameoutof_thesky.jpg"/></a></div>

Thanks a lot in advance for any sort of help.

You need to use filter instead of opacity in IE. The zoom is because filter doesn't work unless your element is positioned but zoom:1 takes care of that without needing any positioning.
So here is what the code should be:

style="opacity: 0.5; filter: alpha(opacity = 50); zoom:1;"
I see you have used filter in your post, I had only looked at your page and you didn't have that there (at least at the containers I looked at). So if you already have the filter you just need to add the zoom part.
