I'm trying to make a button mixin like this:
=default_button(!lighter, !darker)
:border= 1px !lighter solid
:background-color #e3e3e3
:background= -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 100%, from(!lighter), to(!darker)) repeat-x, #d0581e
:background= -moz-linear-gradient(90deg, !darker, !lighter) repeat-x scroll 0 0 #d0581e
:filter= progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='!lighter', endColorstr='!darker')
:-ms-filter= "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='!lighter', endColorstr='!darker')"
:zoom 1
:margin 0 0 0 0
:width auto
:padding 2px 14px 2px 14px
:border-radius 10px
:-webkit-border-radius 10px
:-moz-border-radius 10px
:color #FFF
When I compile the sass, i get this error for the lines beginning with -filter and -ms-filter:
SASS::SyntaxError: Expected rparen token, was single_eq token
I'm pretty sure it's my placement of the ='s, but I'm not exactly sure how to write it correctly. It works if I pass the hex values instead of !lighter, !darker, because then I can remove the = sign like so:
:filter progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#F89F16', endColorstr='#d0581e')
:-ms-filter "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#F89F16', endColorstr='#d0581e')"
Solved it like this, but still looking for alternative suggestions on the best way...
=default_button(!lighter, !darker)
text-shadow= 1px 1px 3px darken(!darker, 8)
border= 1px !darker solid
background-color= !lighter
background= -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 100%, from(!lighter), to(!darker)) repeat-x, !darker
background= -moz-linear-gradient(90deg, !darker, !lighter) repeat-x scroll 0 0 !darker
-ms-filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#{!lighter}', endColorstr='#{!darker}')"
:zoom 1
:margin 0 0 0 0
:width auto
The syntax for Sass has changed since this answer was originally posted. The modern sass (indented) syntax looks like this:
=default_button($lighter, $darker)
text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px darken($darker, 8)
border: 1px $darker solid
background-color: $lighter
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 100%, from($lighter), to($darker)) repeat-x, $darker
background: -moz-linear-gradient(90deg, $darker, $lighter) repeat-x scroll 0 0 $darker
-ms-filter: unquote("progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#{$lighter}', endColorstr='#{$darker}')")
zoom: 1
margin: 0 0 0 0
width: auto
Interpolation #{}
doesn't work sometimes because it shortens hex color values. For example, it will shorten #334455
to #345
, which breaks the filter syntax.
SASS has a new function in version 3.2: ie-hex-str()
.
Here is how I got it to work:
filter: unquote("progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='")
+ ie-hex-str($start)
+ unquote("', endColorstr='")
+ ie-hex-str($stop)
+ unquote("',GradientType=0)"); /* IE6-9 */

Update your syntax to use :
instead of =
for the property definitions:
=mixin($variable)
property: value
property: $variable
Check out the SASS Reference, though the examples are in SCSS rather than SASS indented style. Full index of the SASS documentation.
