Why did they need to propose the name filter: for the property? Old versions of IE (5.5ish to 8) supported a filter-property that was hooking into DirectX to do something similar, but by no means identical.
filter: is still used for the various PNG fixes out there.
This is going to cause endless issues and confusion and I just hope IE copes with a filter: it doesn't understand or we will be back to browser-sniffing and serving different markup to different browsers.
- dstorey 15y agoThe CSS filter property comes from SVG [0], and has been around for quite a long time already. IE 10 will support filters in SVG [1], so IE should be able to cope with it ok.
