Hey there,

Try this for Internet Explorer:

CSS

opacity: 0.5;
filter: alpha(opacity = 50);

IE supports a Microsoft-only property alpha filter. Alpha filters in IE accept values from 0 (completely transparent) to 100 (completely opaque). So, to get your transparency in IE, you should multiply your opacity by 100 and add an alpha filter to your styles
