IE Alpha filter problem

[ComBrandon]

I have a very short problem that I need to get worked out. I am trying to get something transparent in IE, but nothing seems to work.

	objectElement = document.createElement("p");
	document.body.appendChild(objectElement);
	objectElement.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Loading..."));

That is how I created the element. Now I want it to be transparent.
But this doesn't work...

objectElement.style.filter ='progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=50)';
