IE-8 is not supporting the property background-size:cover; Anybody out there who knows how to implement this property in IE-8!

Looking for IE-8 hacks or HTML5 tips for IE-8 ;) Thanks in advance.

There is an IE filter, for IE 5.5+, which you can apply: 

 filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(
src='images/logo.gif',
sizingMethod='scale');

-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(
src='images/logo.gif',
sizingMethod='scale')";

However, this scales the entire image to fit in the allocated area. So if your using a sprite, this may cause issues.

Specification: AlphaImageLoader Filter @microsoft
