Yes, I just saw this yesterday and decided to remove Microsoft’s gradient code for css, since it clearly won’t work for us due to its inconsistency (as usual).
Take a look at the demo and let me know how that looks on your screen – http://demo.appfinite.com/ally
I removed Microsofts gradient css code for now…..and I may add an update so that it shows an image instead of the gradient css. I haven’t decided what I’ll do just yet.
For now, it won’t show a background on the slider when viewed in IE.
Let me know if you have any thoughts on this
