I was not "grovelling" (note spelling) as you are so fond of putting it
(no doubt because it strokes your ego to think some of us may be throwing
ourselves at your feet begging for enlightenment). I was merely alerting
readers/respondents that my question may either be trivial to answer or my
underlying premise may have been way off base.

Sorry. I had added a 2nd stylesheet with media="print", but was changing
the original stylesheet and not seeing the changes in the printed version.
After removing the "print" stylesheet and changing the media on the
original back to "all" it worked.

Re: get opacity value

I assume you mean the errors induced by looking too closely at the
object referenced by an ActiveX property (typeof xyz == 'unknown').
I haven't considered it (and prefer not to), but I'll take a wild stab
in the dark and say that the deprecated alpha filter syntax produces a
"normal" host object, which is reported by the browser as an "object"

That seems to explain it.
I was getting errors at some point.
The last example I made did not exhibit the error. Out of curiosity, I
want to know the exact circumstances that can reproduce this error.
I see now that it's a "behind the scenes" type of thing. The code behind

If you get "object", it shouldn't blow up. But regardless, see that
function I posted for the basic logic that should work every time
without fear of explosions.
That's when they are "unknown" types. Remember IE changes host object
types sometimes (e.g. element nodes orphaned by innerHTML). From
"object" to "unknown" seems to indicate a shift in the implementation

I am not sure. I am getting "object" in IETester. Is this IETester
related result?
I have noticed an occasional "unknown error" with either of:
1) el.filters.alpha
2) el.filters["progid:DXImageTran sform.Microsoft.Alpha"];
The error does not always occur. I have never understood why it occurs

IIRC, 6.0 is very problematic. I don't think they got it quite
"right" until 6.2, which is fairly workable. Also IIRC, one of the
keys was avoiding designs that fetch computed styles (something I do
anyway).

Re: get opacity value [a bit more]

Interesting, but I almost never have cause to set opacity in style
sheets.
That first semi-colon appears to be a typo. MS has waffled on the
case over the years (in their examples anyway), but it has always been
case insensitive, so I use lowercase.
BTW, there does appear to be a "need" for a third isHost* function.

That second one doesn't work for me in IE8 on IETester.
To follow the recommended syntax from microsoft, for -ms-filter, quotes
are needed around the value. Values may be comma-separated. The
following works in IE8 (IETester):
-ms-filter: "alpha(opacity=52)"
With quotes.
Example:
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Micro soft.Alpha(opacity=52)";
