why multiple background images does not work for IE?

I have this code which works nice in Chrome and Firefox, but on IE only the second background image appears... Do you know why?

    $('input[type=button]').click(function() {
    //search for the button
    var button = document.getElementsByName("contactme");
    //change the image
    button[0].style.background = "url(http://www.restorationsos.com/imgs/loader.gif) no-repeat,  url('http://www.restorationsos.com/imgs/btnBG.gif') repeat-x";
    //change the text
    button[0].value = "We Are Connecting You...";
    button[0].style.textAlign = "right";
    button[0].style.color = "#ea2400";
    //disable the button
    button[0].disabled = true;
});

It's simple:

Only IE9+ supports multiple backgrounds images, see:

Try adding the css property 

zoom:1;
In IE7 this makes the background image magically appear. Don't ask me why, it just does.
