I have a toolbar in IE that shows a html page in an embedded IWebBrowser2 control. It works with pretty much any html,css and javascript except that the microsoft-specific filters (such as the gradient filter) don't work in IE8 on WinXP.
The odd thing is that if I load the same html into the main browser window, the gradient filter works. But if I load it into the IWebBrowser2 that's embedded in the toolbar, it doesn't.
Do you have any ideas what the reason might be?
The relevant css looks like this:
{
background-color: inherit;
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#f1f6fd', endColorstr='#e4effd',GradientType=0 );
height: 28px;
padding-top:3px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #a0a0a0;
}
I've tried various compatibility settings as described here: How do I turn off Compatibility View on the IE WebBrowserControl in a WinForms app? but it makes no difference.
I appreciate any brilliant ideas you might have!
Thank you!
