css3 - using Matrix and AlphaImageLoader at the same time -

having issue following ie filters:

progid:dximagetransform.microsoft.matrix()  progid:dximagetransform.microsoft.alphaimageloader() 

i cant both of them working @ same time on same element.

if apply either 1 of them individually work, cant seem chain these effects?

has seen bug before?

what correct syntax?

i have tried several combinations recommended on , ms reference sites, none have solved issue.

if want effects occur in order specify above (matrix alphaimageloader), not possible.

the alphaimageloader procedural surface, in the static filters descriptions such matrix noted (emphasis added me):

when multiple filters applied object, each filter process in source order, with exception of procedural surfaces, computed first. emphasize filter's effect, place last in source order or on object's parent. place transitions last in source order.

so alphaimageloader process first, if defined last. if order not issue (though suspect is), should work:

filter: progid:dximagetransform.microsoft.alphaimageloader() progid:dximagetransform.microsoft.matrix(); 

note spaces (whitespace) between filter calls. cannot call 1 place , again in another, overwrite previous filter. so not work second overwrite first:

filter: progid:dximagetransform.microsoft.alphaimageloader(); filter: progid:dximagetransform.microsoft.matrix();
