Diagonal Gradient in IE

Question

Is there a way to have a diagonal gradient in IE? In Chrome I could do something like this:

body{
    background-image:-webkit-gradient(
    linear,
    left         


        

Answer 1

The short answer is, unfortunately, no, you can't. Microsoft's gradient filter is binary - only left to right or top to bottom.

You might, however, be able to use CSS3 PIE to do what you want. Keep in mind that PIE's support for gradients in IE9 is somewhat sketchy, though, and may or may not work, even if IE7 and 8 do (see their forums for some more info).
