    }
</script>

</body>
</html>    

Here is the DOCTYPE I am using:

<!doctype html>

Again, this will render in FF, Chrome, and Safari with no problem. When I try and view it in IE 9 it doesn’t show up, but when I view it in quirks mode, it does.

I’m sure it’s something I’m overlooking, but I have been staring at this problem for the past couple of hours to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Try using svg instead of filter for IE9. I use this handy tool colorzilla.com/gradient-editor make sure to tick the box that says IE9 Support
