I am developing web pages. When I use the opacity css property, Firefox can
use it on XP, but IE7 ignores it. Does anyone know if this property works
on ie7 under vista?

Yes, thanks!

That told me exactly how ie7 implements opacity, and that ie does not
support the 'opacity' css property.

I am using a snippet from bigbold that provides several effects that use the
'opacity' style attribute. Now that bigbold has gone away, I'm not sure I
can decipher their snippet and adapt it for ie. Is there any comparable xb
or ie fader code?

Most fader code I have found simply fades from one message to another in a
fully visible section of the page. I am fading an entire div from
display:none to display:block, so the existing page shows through as the new
content takes shape. Now I know ie can do this, but I hate using branching
code. Any suggestions?

You're welcome Scott.

I'm not a Web site developer, but I was aware that the 'opacity' css
property is handled by Safari and Mozilla but with IE you have to implement
the Alpha Filter to render Opacity. I don't have an answer for your
additional question, you might be better served asking this question in a
Development new group.

Good luck,

Donald Anadell

Thanks again! I guess I'll have to keep looking. At least now I know what
I'm looking for.
