Hi GWTlist, we are getting strange css compile behaviours with special styles for ie7 and ie8.
Our goal is to get css for gradients in IE7 and IE8 into our css files. That works fine for webkit or firefox but fails when it comes to more complex strings for IE7 and IE8. For this we have the following setup (looks quite complicated but fits our needs, until now ;-)): A ColorDefinition file: .. private static String COLOR1 = "#32333D"; private static String COLOR3 = "#000000"; .. ______________________________ A PlatformStyle file to build some strings to be used later in CSS files: public String getPrimaryGradientWebkit() { return "-webkit-linear-gradient(top, " + color1 + ", " + color3 + ")"; } public String getPrimaryGradientIE8() { return "\"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='" + color1 + "', endColorstr='" + color3 + "')\""; } public String getPrimaryGradientIE7() { return "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='" + color1 + "', endColorstr='" + color3 + "')"; } ______________________________ And finally a css file: .header { /* style above... */ background-image: primaryGradientWebkit; /* Chrome 10+, Saf5.1+ */ -ms-filter:: primaryGradientIE; filter:primaryGradientIE7; } ______________________________ The output for webkit is "background-image: -webkit-linear- gradient(top, #32333D, #000000)". Yay! The UNEXPECTED output for IE7 is "filter:primaryGradientIE7", so we got nothing that can be interpreted as style, IE8 gets the same "filter:primaryGradientIE8",. We would EXPECT something like this for ie7: "filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#32333D', endColorstr='#000000')" Question: Maybe somebody knows something like that, or have a good starting point to get to the root of that problem? Any help appreciated... Thanks, Peter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
