Why use `filter` if you don’t support modern browsers anyway? about bootstrap

[fat]

We're using it for ie 7+ support now :)

Not so fast! :)

There’s still one occurence of -ms-filter that could/should be omitted:

-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#00000000', endColorstr='#15000000')";
filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#00000000', endColorstr='#15000000')";

Just the filter will do.

i believe -ms-filter is for ie8 http://www.quirksmode.org/css/opacity.html

[mathiasbynens]

No it’s not. Try it.

"If you don’t use this order, IE8-as-IE7 doesn’t apply the opacity, although IE8 and a pure IE7 do."

Hm... that might just be with the opacity though... I'll check.

Don’t believe the hype! Always try it out for yourself.

No problem :)
