IE8 animating filter-property removes all existing filters

[Sumit]

Hi there,

 

so i'm trying to animate the opacity of an element with a gradient.

The gradient of course is added via filter (for IE8):

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#ffffff', endColorstr='#00ffffff',GradientType=1 );

Now when i animate the opacity, it seems the new filter overwrites the old one:

filter:  alpha(opacity=100);

Is there a way i/you could keep the old values of filter?

 

Thanks in advance

Sumit

Allright i solved it by assigning my filter with !important. IE8 will apply both filters then - which is wrong of course, but good for me right now

 

BTW: tested with IE10 - dev tools - IE8 mode on Windows 7.

Glad you found a solution. What version of GSAP are you using? Please make sure you've got the latest one.
