setOpacity has no effect in IE8

[drewB]

I have a site that is working well in FF3 and IE7 but when I test it
in IE8 all calls to setOpacity don't have any impact. If I set the
browser to IE7 compatibility mode it works fine.

Has another else every experienced this problem? Did you find a
solution?

I do not experience your problem of having Element.setOpacity not working in IE8 w/o compatibility mode. Here is a pastie that demonstrates Element.setOpacity working in IE8: http://pastie.org/762888. If you view this in IE8 w/o compatibility mode, you will notice that the setOpacity makes the black background of the div#myelement opaque. I got this example from the Prototype API: http://www.prototypejs.org/api/element/setOpacity. I think that your problem lies in your code,not Prototype Javascript library.

I just used setOpacity today for a Strict IE8 page and it seemed to
work.
