If "many" sites are relying on the proprietary IE semantics, then it's a bug in the CSSStyleDeclaration API that it has incompatible semantics. Magical oddball strings won't fix this problem -- the correct long-term fix is to rename the SVG 'filter' property so that it doesn't clash with something that is incompatible and already widely used. -- David-Sarah Hopwood _______________________________________________ Es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
