Creating Gradient Background doesn't work in IE.

[xerenader@…]

I want to have a gradient background for my div. In other browsers it works. For example, Google Chrome and Safari

.css('background', '-webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#61c419), color-stop(100%,#b4e391))')

For IE, .css('background', 'filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr="#61c419", endColorstr="#b4e391",GradientType=0 )')

but it doesn't work.

filter is not a value of the background property. Do .css('filter', 'progid...') instead.
