ie 9 support both filter and rgba

I have been search for the solution for 2 hours, this is no suitable solution for my case.

I used rgba to set the opacity level and background color. But you all know ie 8 and below do not support this, so I add a filter to implement this for ie8 and below version of ie. But my problem is ie 9 will show both filter and rgba which makes the color different.

All the css attribute is generated, so here I just can add single attribute(I can not use <if gt IE9> or separate css file for ie9 something like this). I tried to use some css hack to make the rgba as transparent only for ie9, but the css hack for single attribute like :root h{background-color:red/0\IE9;} is not working, is the css hack has already been fixed?

Is there any solution for my problem please? Thank you.

The solution I'd suggest would be to switch from targeting your CSS hack at IE9 on the background-colour style to using an IE8-and-below hack instead on the filter.

The best IE8-and-below hack to use is the \9 hack, as described here.

So something like this:

.myclass {
    background-colour: #rrggbbaa;  /*insert your RGBA colour here.*/
    filter: alpha(opacity=50)\9;   /*the \9 should make it work only in IE8 and earlier*/
}

Adjust the above according to your own needs.

Hope that helps
