[thelist] CSS: Opacity in IE and Opera?

[Peter Brunone (EasyListBox.com)]

	I seem to recall that the alpha filter doesn't work unless you
specify height; let me see if I can dig up anything on that (meanwhile,
try it and let me know what happens).

As far as I understand, the only way to create cross browser
transparency 
in Moz, IE and Safari is to use the following.

         filter:alpha(opacity=50);       // IE
         -moz-opacity:0.5;               // Moz + FF
         opacity: 0.5;           // Anything that supports CSS3

In my current layout, using IE, if I set the <code> to position:
absolute; 
the transparency works.   But that would pretty much screw up the 
layout.  If you take a peek at the url below, the <code> sample should
be 
50% transparent. It is are in FireFox, but IE and Opera fail to agree. 
Oddly  enough, IE does indeed change the opacity in the side bar  Can 
anyone suggest an alterative?
