Filters are nothing new, they existed since IE4...

BTW Mozilla has support for object transparency at least (alpha blending).

If you go to: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/filter/filters.asp , at the bottom of the page you'll see that only thing changed is how filters are called (it is more complex in IE5.5), so as I've said they existed since IE4...

threep offers his opinion:

A long time ago in 1999 (IE4 was latest web browser then), I made a simple DHTML animation explaining how Panama Canal works. It uses dissolve transition effect when switching between layers and you can see in action at the following page: http://www.lasvegaspanama.com/eng-tdest.html (at the bottom of the page you'll find a link to the DHTML page). So, that would be one of the old scripts that takes advantage of transitions, heh...
