So today I was thinking "Oh yeah, I need to update our old contact pages which have this little stupid bit of opacity for the Lawlz so that it works with IE8" ...but when I took a look in IE8, it was already working!! I double-checked: no compatibility mode. I turned on the IE Developer thingie. By unchecking the regular CSS opacity declaration, nothing changed (as expected). By unchecking the regular (for IE7 and below) filter declaration, the opacity was gone. Meaning, IE8 IS using the old opacity filter declarations... !! So, now I'm confuzled. I can post an example page. I’ve been scouring the web, and everywhere it states this need for the -ms vendor extension.
