How do I make background-size work in IE?
9 answers
For some reason my background size is not working in IE 7&8. Can anyone tell me why. Also in the IE inspector, the background-size property is not showing up.
<a href="" class="twitter-custom-follow-button"></a>
.twitter-custom-follow-button {
float: left;
width: 96px;
height: 20px;
background: url(../img/slices/btns/twitter_follow.png);
background-size: 96px 20px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
That's because background-size
is a CSS3 property which isn't supported before IE9.
However, there is a thread which suggests a possible workaround:

IE 7/8 doesn't support the background-size
property .. you will need to use javascript if you want the same functionality
IE7/8 do not support background-size
. It was only introduced in IE9.
If you want to support IE7/8 with this property, you'll need to use a polyfill script for it.
The only polyfill I know of that supports background-size
is CSS3Pie v2. Give it a go. (it also adds support for several other CSS features that aren't in old IE versions)
use this one code
filter:progid:DXImageTransferform.microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='img.jpg',sizingMethod='scale')
