progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient causing issues in IE 8

[elucidsoft]

The line (startColorstr='argb(#222)', endColorstr='argb(#111)', GradientType=0); BACKGROUND-COLOR: #1b1b1b for the navbar-inner is causing issues in IE8, the bar looks blue in color instead of the color its suppose to be, its also effecting menu hovers so when I mouse over menu items they are an ugly blue color. If i change it to use a non argb color it seems to work fine.

I forgot to mention this is with version 2.1

Docs look fine for us and we use the same stuff. Please reopen if need be with a jsfiddle to demonstrate. Also, bare in mind that filters for gradients do not like shorthand hex codes.

I am having same issue.

For me this was caused by using an older version of dotless (a .NET LESS compiler) which didn't support the argb function.

e.g. argb(#222) should translate to #ff222222.

Updating dotless to 1.3.1.0 fixed this for me.
