[css] filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient is not working in ie7

I want to apply a gradient background color to my div.

For IE I have used the property:

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#fad59f', endColorstr='#fa9907')

It's working in IE9 and IE8. But not working in IE7.

What should I do to see in IE?

Here is a JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/xRcXL/2/

In testing IE7/8/9 I was getting an ActiveX warning trying to use this code snippet:

filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient

After removing this the warning went away. I know this isn't an answer, but I thought it was worthwhile to note.

This should work:

background: -moz-linear-gradient(center top , #fad59f, #fa9907) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
 /* For WebKit (Safari, Google Chrome etc) */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#fad59f), to(#fa9907));
/* For Mozilla/Gecko (Firefox etc) */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #fad59f, #fa9907);
/* For Internet Explorer 5.5 - 7 */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#fad59f, endColorstr=#fa9907);
/* For Internet Explorer 8 */
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#fad59f, endColorstr=#fa9907)";

Otherwise generate using the following link and get the code.

You didn't specify a GradientType:

background: #f0f0f0; /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 0%, #eeeeee 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#ffffff), color-stop(100%,#eeeeee)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 0%,#eeeeee 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 0%,#eeeeee 100%); /* Opera11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 0%,#eeeeee 100%); /* IE10+ */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#ffffff', endColorstr='#eeeeee',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
background: linear-gradient(top, #ffffff 0%,#eeeeee 100%); /* W3C */
