title: IE8 gradient filter not working if a background color exists
body: <p>I'm trying to use the following CSS styles. They are working on most browsers, including ie7.  However in ie8, the transparent background does not show and instead I get the background color which I would like to leave set as a fallback color.</p>
  
  <pre><code>section.rgba{
      background-color: #B4B490;
      background-color: rgba(200, 0, 104, 0.4);  
      filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorStr='#99B4B490',EndColorStr='#99B4B490');
      -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorStr='#99B4B490',EndColorStr='#99B4B490')";
      zoom: 1
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to be able to get this to work without having to resort to an IE stylesheet where i set the background color to none.  Is this possible?</p>
  
  <p>Anybody know how to fix it?</p>
