Notes

Remarks

Windows Internet Explorer 8. The -ms-filter attribute is an extension to CSS, and can be used as a synonym for filter in IE8 Standards mode. When you use -ms-filter, enclose the progid in single quotes (') or double quotes ("). Use commas (,) to separate multiple values, as shown in the Examples section. An object must have layout for the filter to render. A simple way to accomplish this is to give the element a specified height and hasLayout property. The shadow filter can be applied to the img object by setting the filter on the image’s parent container. The filter mechanism is extensible and enables you to develop and add filters later. For more information about filters, see Introduction to Filters and Transitions. Not available on the Macintosh platform.

Syntax

-ms-filter: filtertype1 (parameter1, parameter2,...) | filtertype2 (parameter1, parameter2,...)
