Hi:

    I have the following statement in a function that is supposed to restore 
the default opacity to 1.0 (100 in IE8 and lower) in  several 'divs' from 
the opening 40 opacity.

        document.getElementById("iMyDivId").style.filter = 
alpha(opacity=100) ;

        This gives a JS runtime error

    For all other browsers, I use:

        document.getElementById("MyDivId").style.opacity = 1.0 ;    // works 
correctly


    Would someone please correct my syntax ?

Thank you.
