[thelist] Gradient <td> backgrounds

[Jon Haworth]

Hi list,

Microsoft have a new section on msdn
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/architecture/), with gradient backgrounds on the
<td>s:
<td style="filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(GradientType=1,
StartColorStr='#FF003399', EndColorStr='#FF6699CC');">

It might just be me, but it does look a little like they're adding
proprietary - possibly DirectX-based - extensions to CSS, and I'm sure we
all remember the fun and games when Netscape and MS went through all this
with HTML. Gah. Please. Not again.

FWIW, along with IE6, I've had a look in Moz, NN4, and Opera. None of them
(apart from IE) show the gradients.

*boggle*

Cheers
Jon
