Gradient Colour in Layout Cells

[KL]

Hi there,

Microsoft on its pages uses gradient color in the layout cells (e.g. in the blue header) . Those cells look colorless in the design
view. If I look at the cell properties or cell format there is not even a hint of color or an option to introduce a gradient. If I
switch to code view, I can see that those cells have the following style applied:

style="filterrogidXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(startColorStr='#4B92D9', endColorStr='#CEDFF6', gradientType='1')"

Questions: How can I access this property from the design view and where can I learn more about this type of filters?

Many thanks,
KL

The secret web site is.....

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../author/filter/reference/filters/gradient.asp

You might have to copy and paste if that wraps...

Be aware that it will only work in IE and no others!

Hi Bob,

Many thanks for this. One more question: how would one see Microsft's site in Netscape then? No blue banner?

Thanks,

I had never looked at it with another browser but it looks different in Fox
Fire!

BUT---- I just copied the code and viewed it in IE and its OK
Then I viewed it with Fox Fire and nothing shows....

Hi Bob,

Yep, I actually did right after I asked the question (both Netsacape and Forefox) and both show the MS pages correctly. I am not
sure is that is because the filters are already present on my PC or because the latest versions of those browsers include the
feature I asked about. I am a bit lost now :-/

Check to see if images are being used in the NS and FF.
