Translucent DIV

<div style="opacity:0.7">Lorem ipsum...... </div>

This works in every other modern browsers other than IE. Since IE 7 or
IE 8 beta 2 don't support opacity, -ms-filter: 'Alpha(Opacity=70)';
filter: Alpha(Opacity=70); is the alternative. But still, MSDN says
layout(height) must be predetermined to use that, I can't get the
exact same result. The <div> above contains a paragraph whose height
can be adjusted in accordance with the browser's width.

Is it impossible to get traslucency for div whose height is not fixed
in IE?

Hi Cat,

The scripting method described here
http://www.quirksmode.org/js/opacity.html seems to work in all versions and
browsers.

Regards.
