filter (new style) | NN n/a IE 5.5(Win) CSS n/a
| Inherited: No
Sets the static or transition filter used to display or change content of an element with the help of the DXImageTransform ActiveX control, delivered with IE 5.5 or later for Windows. The purpose of the new filter mechanism is the same as the old style one, but the syntax for invoking the ActiveX control is new, as are many of the filter names.
CSS Syntax
    filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.filterType1(paramName1=value1,
    paramName2=value2,...)
    progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.filterType2(paramName1=value1,...) ...
Value
Each filter type must be preceded by the reference to the ActiveX control (progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.), and multiple filter types for a single filter style attribute are space delimited. Each filter type is followed by a pair of parentheses, which may convey parameters about the behavior of the filter for the current element. A parameter generally consists of a name/value pair, with assignment performed by the equals symbol. Filter types that control transitions also have methods that scripts invoke to freeze the display while some visible attribute of the element changes (also under script control) and then play the transition. (See the "Notes" section below for information about filterType values and parameters.
Initial Value
None.
Example
    .fastStuff {filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.MotionBlur(add=1,
    direction=225)}
Applies To
All elements.
