I am trying to use:
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=50)";
so that opacity would work on a <p> element, the filter gets applied but the browser lags and becomes unresponsive/crashes.
Tried using filter: instead of -ms-filter and the shorthand syntax opacity=50 as well, it produced the same results.
The filter works like normal in a div element.
Is this an IE8 bug?

Works for me here: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/opacity.html
Re: -ms-filter crashes browser (IE8)
That link caused IE8 to crash as well. I installed some Windows updates and restarted. Now it seems that is fixed.
Weird thing is that it crashed on both my work and home computers which run IE8 on XP and Vista respectively...
