No, don't disregard this post. Hedgar Wang's [1] and Bill Brown's [2] technique solves for another problem: how to archieve a transparent, monochrome background surface in IE < 7 ? The prior attempts used the alphaimageloader filter and a PNG-alpha, but the consecutive probblems with links not beeing clickable needed a complex workaround [3]. The gradient filter attempt with startcolor=endcolor doesn't seem to suffer from the unclikable links problem anymore. The container needs haslayout like with any filter, but that's all. A little late for IE6, but nevertheless an innovative approach.
