setOpacity fails for new Element

Description

If you call setOpacity (either through setStyle or directly) with a brand new element through the "new Element" construct, IE will through an error because currentStyle is not defined. If you attach the element to the DOM, then the error goes away.

I'm getting this problem too. For the fix, I simply did this in Element.Methods.setOpacity:

Change from 

if (!element.currentStyle.hasLayout) element.style.zoom = 1;

to 

if (element.currentStyle && !element.currentStyle.hasLayout) element.style.zoom = 1;

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

(In [7991]) prototype: In IE, allow opacity to be set on elements not yet attached to the document. Closes #9904.
