Question

I have this CSS class that styles using gradients:

.zui-btn
{
padding:5px 15px; margin:0; border:1px solid #ccc;text-shadow: 0px 1px #fff; text-align:center;
background: #ffffff;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,  #ffffff 0%, #dddddd 100%);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#ffffff), color-stop(100%,#dddddd));
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,  #ffffff 0%,#dddddd 100%);
background: -o-linear-gradient(top,  #ffffff 0%,#dddddd 100%);
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top,  #ffffff 0%,#dddddd 100%);
background: linear-gradient(to bottom,  #ffffff 0%,#dddddd 100%);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#ffffff', endColorstr='#dddddd');  
}

I have it applied to a link and a button. But the result doesn’t come through in IE8, IE9 for the link. See http://jsfiddle.net/88mSc/14/

<a href="#" class="zui-btn">Modify</a>    
<button type="button" class="zui-btn">Hello World</button>

What am I doing wrong?

It’s a bug you can workaroung by setting the display to inline-block.

Don’t ask me why.
