Just a small point: those filters are MS proprietary code and only seems to work on IE6. Didn't work for me in FF2 or IE7.

Sorry missed to mention that..... it works in IE only. Also as far as I know there's no alternative, as the filter is non-standard crap which IE has in a pathetic attempt make itself look good.

you can use opacity to achieve a similar (though not exact) effect. This will work cross-broswer:

<style>	img.grayme	{		opacity:.20;		filter: alpha(opacity=20);		-moz-opacity: 0.2;	}</style><img src="yourimage.jpg" class="grayme" onmouseover="this.className=''"; onmouseout="this.className='grayme'"/>
