Description

Due to a bug in IE, opacity only works if the width or height of an element has been set. This is a problem, for example, in the uPortal reordering portlets sample. You will notice that when trying to move a portlet with the keyboard the opacity setting does not work. Other problems with opacity has caused us to set it in code, for example, in the Uploader. I think we need to come up with an opacity strategy that will work in all cases and will simplify the creation of individual components with respect to styling.

Environments

IE 6, IE7 (Win XP)
IE7 (Win Vista)
IE6 (Win 2000)

    Does seem to be working in IE 8

    This works in IE 11. IE 6 and 7 are no longer supported
