Combining a background image and gradient in Internet Explorer: a comprehensive guide

I recently encountered a challenge while trying to apply a gradient and a background image to an element using CSS. After utilizing Colorzilla for the gradient, I obtained the following code snippet.

background: rgb(250,250,250);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(left,  rgba(250,250,250,1) 0%, rgba(236,236,236,1) 100%);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, color-stop(0%,rgba(250,250,250,1)), color-stop(100%,rgba(236,236,236,1)));
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(left,  rgba(250,250,250,1) 0%,rgba(236,236,236,1) 100%);
background: -o-linear-gradient(left,  rgba(250,250,250,1) 0%,rgba(236,236,236,1) 100%);
background: -ms-linear-gradient(left,  rgba(250,250,250,1) 0%,rgba(236,236,236,1) 100%);
background: linear-gradient(to right,  rgba(250,250,250,1) 0%,rgba(236,236,236,1) 100%);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#fafafa', endColorstr='#ececec',GradientType=1 );

This configuration functions effectively across major browsers including IE9.

Upon manually introducing background images, I encountered compatibility issues with Internet Explorer.

background: url('/public/src/images/features_arrow_fade.png') no-repeat 260px center, rgb(250,250,250);
background: url('/public/src/images/features_arrow_fade.png') no-repeat 260px center, -moz-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(250,250,250,1) 0%, rgba(236,236,236,1) 100%);
background: url('/public/src/images/features_arrow_fade.png') no-repeat 260px center, -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,rgba(250,250,250,1)), color-stop(100%,rgba(236,236,236,1)));
background: url('/public/src/images/features_arrow_fade.png') no-repeat 260px center, -webkit-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(250,250,250,1) 0%,rgba(236,236,236,1) 100%);
background: url('/public/src/images/features_arrow_fade.png') no-repeat 260px center, -o-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(250,250,250,1) 0%,rgba(236,236,236,1) 100%);
background: url('/public/src/images/features_arrow_fade.png') no-repeat 260px center, -ms-linear-gradient(top,  rgba(250,250,250,1) 0%,rgba(236,236,236,1) 100%);
background: url('/public/src/images/features_arrow_fade.png') no-repeat 260px center, linear-gradient(to bottom,  rgba(250,250,250,1) 0%,rgba(236,236,236,1) 100%);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#fafafa', endColorstr='#ececec',GradientType=0 );

This method showcases the desired outcome in most browsers except for IE which fails to render both the image and the gradient simultaneously. Seeking advice on how to resolve this dilemma, potentially exploring jQuery integration for assistance!

Answer №1

In order to achieve this, you must generate a separate element because using multiple backgrounds is not feasible in older versions of Internet Explorer, specifically before IE9.
