Hello everyone.

I´m building a folio gallery and reading the article [http://www.w3schools.com/Css/css\_image\_transparency.asp](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/](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.alpha.opacity=100” onmouseout=“this.style.opacity=0.5;this.filters.alpha.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.
