How to make background-image with linear-gradient work on IE 11?

Question

Any idea how I can make background-image with linear-gradient to work on IE 11?

The following code works fine on IE 10 but doesn\'t work on

Answer 1

Maddening, isn't it?

Prior to IE 11,

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#ffffff', endColorstr='#cccccc');

For IE 11:

background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #FFFFFF 0%, #CCCCCC 100%);

That's right folks, we not only have to worry about supporting older IEs, apparently we'll now have to deal with NEWER IE quirks as well...
