How do I use a style to change the opacity of an image with the document.getElementById method? All help is appreciated.

For Mozilla it is something like

document.getElementById(id).style.MozOpacity=value

I currently have this for mozilla

document.getElementById("image3").style="-moz-opacity: 70%";

and

document.images["image3"].style="filter: alpha(opacity=50)";

for internet explorer. These keep throwing errors. I thought the IE way worked until I checked it again. Has anyone done anything like this? all help is appreciated.

Wrong syntax. As Mr. J illustrated, you have to reference the style property in the dot syntax. Not like you do in CSS.

document.getElementById("problem").style.display = "block"; is valid

document.getElementById("problem").style = display: block; is not
