Logout grayscale function

[teonix]

Hello,

I'm trying to add the logout function to a non-vB page. The prompt part is working, but I cannot seem to get the grayscale part to work.

I am currently adding this code to my non-vB page..

<!--
function log_out()
{
	ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
	ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";
	if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))
	{
		return true;
	}
	else
	{
		ht[0].style.filter = "";
		return false;
	}
}
//-->
</script>

And then utilizing the function in the logout <a href> by adding

onclick="return log_out()"

The javascript prompt pops up, but the page doesn't convert to grayscale like it does on a vB page

Any ideas? Is there something i'm missing that I need to include?

Looks OK to me... This only works in Internet Explorer, so I assume you're not testing in FireFox or so?

Correct, i'm testing it in Internet Explorer

any ideas?

Any idea on how to get this effect working in Firefox and Opera?

Not a big deal, but it would be nice.
