I recently stumbled upon the use of this CSS element in some older code and document it here for future reference.
- Gecko 1.9.1 (Firefox 3.5 – final release of June 30, 2009) and later do not support
-moz-opacity. By now, you should be using simplyopacity. - Prior to version 9, Internet Explorer does not support
opacity, rather it supportsfilterinstead. - IE supports also the extended form
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=xx). - IE8 introduced
-ms-filter, which is synonymous withfilter. - Similar to
-moz-opacity,-khtml-opacityhas been dead since early 2004 (release of Safari 1.2).
Konqueror never had support for-khtml-opacityand had been supportingopacitysince version 4.0.
