CSS Gradient height for IE?

Question

In the webkit and moz vendor specific properties for CSS gradients, you can specify the height of the gradient. Is there something similar for IE? For example:

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#aaaaaa', endColorstr='#ffffff'); /* IE */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left 3, from(#aaaaaa), to(#ffffff)); /* webkit */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,  #aaaaaa,  #ffffff 3px); /* firefox */

How can I specify a 3px high gradient in IE?

Answer 1

It's a hack, but you could create a duplicate div with a defined height of 3px and apply the IE filter to that.

Or you could avoid the IE code bloat, and accept that IE will have a different aesthetic than more capable browsers (square corners included).
