only used the alpha image filter in a IE-only css file. it always worked...

something like this

<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/ieStyleCorrect.css"/>
<![endif]-->

/* CSS Document */

a#logo {
background-image: none;
filter:
progidXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader (src=images/logo.png,
sizingMethod='scale'
cursor:hand;
}
