Using the grey filter

[benj0323]

I know in IE you can change everything within an element to grey using a filter like this:

progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)

is it possible to do this in mozilla or other browsers than IE?

Thanks for your help.

Nope, it's IE proprietory. If you're just dealing with colours then you could write a RGB->HSL javascript funtion, then go back through the DOM pulling all the 's' values to 0. Colormatch remix [colormixers.com] has some functions that would point you in the right direction for this. Images would still be unaffected of course.
