Opacity using CSS isn’t supported very well in every browser (particular with one Internet “exploration” themed browser). It’s possible to get opacity right if you know the right people, but personally, I can never remember exactly what I need to do to make it work. Tonight, I was about to look it up once again, but I decided to see what Textmate would do if I typed “opacity” and hit tab, the usual bundle activation key. Sure enough, when I hit tab, Textmate responded by giving me this:

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

Not only did Textmate give 3 different options for making opacity work, when I changed the first 0.5 value to something else, the other 2 values changed as well. Textmate to the rescue again!
