MaskFilter filter
The Mask Filter shows transparent pixels of an object as a color mask, and nontransparent pixels as transparent instead.
Syntax:
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MaskFilter(attribute1=value1, attribute2=value2, etc);
Syntax (post IE8):
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MaskFilter(attribute1=value1, attribute2=value2, etc)";
Note: See "Difference in syntax between pre IE8 and IE8+ browsers" for more info on the changes to the filter syntax in IE8+.
Example:
<style type="text/css">
#somediv{
width: 90%;
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MaskFilter(color=#000000)";
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MaskFilter(color=#000000);
}
</style>
<div id="somediv">Some DIV</div>
Syntax via scripting:
//To define a new MaskFilter filter on an element
object.style.filter ="progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MaskFilter(attribute=value1, attribute2=value2)"
To access an existing property within the MaskFilter filter:
object.filters.item("DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MaskFilter").Property1=value1;
//To access an existing property within the MaskFilter filter via the filters[] object
object.filters[x].Property1=value1 //where "x" is the position of the filter within list of filters on element
When getting or setting a specific filter's attribute via scripting, you capitalize the attribute to turn it into a property.
