Parts of your gradient declaration aren't the same as this sample I found on Snipplr http://snipplr.com/view/28379/shadow-and-gradient-fill-for-ie6-ie7-ie8/

filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(GradientType=0, StartColorStr='#20000000', EndColorStr='#A0000000');}

Make sure to capitalize everything properly and call the appropriate arguments and see if that helps.

Hi there,

I am attempting to create a semi-transparent container. The following code works perfectly in chrome, but not in ie 8 where the container is displayed as a white box instead of a 70% opaque box. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

.transparencycontainer {
    width:500px;
    /* Fallback for web browsers that doesn't support RGBa */
    background: rgb(255, 255, 255);
    /* For IE 5.5 - 7*/
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#b2FFFFFF, endColorstr=#b2FFFFFF);
    /* For IE 8*/
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#b2FFFFFF, endColorstr=#b2FFFFFF)";
    /* RGBa with 0.7 opacity */
    background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
}

Also how do I translate the 70% opaque into the alpha value for IE (b2 in the code above) - at the moment I'm just working off of an example.

Cheers,
A
