IE 8. Gradient background+image

Question

How can I make IE8 show a gradient background + image. This is possible in other browsers, but in IE it doesn\'t work.

In other browsers:

Answer 1

IE8 doesn't support CSS gradients (so that won't work). IE9 has limited support as far as I remember and IE10 will feature full support. I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but in case you'd like a background image with a gradient before or behind, how about stacking two images (one with the gradient, one with the actual background) or merging both into one image?
