Can't handle complex filter attribute

[Vitaly]

Example of CSS in my project that DotLess fails to process:

.bgMask
{
display:none;
position:fixed;
z-index:1000;
background:rgb(0,0,0);
background: transparent\9;
background:rgba(0,0,0,0.7);

filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#b2000000,endColorstr=#b2000000);
zoom: 1;
}

The culprit is line with the 'filter' attribute. In this context it is
used as a hack for IE gradient implementation. Unfortunately, just
DotLess encounters it, it fails, and as a result, the entire CSS comes
up as an empty file.

Took me a while to find out why my CSS was returned empty by DotLess,
but here it is...

I hope there will be a fix soon, so I can start using this otherwise
great project.

Cheers!

Try to escape it, from the  http://lesscss.org/ documentation

Escaping

Sometimes you might need to output a CSS value which is either not valid CSS syntax, or uses proprietary syntax which LESS doesn’t recognize.

To output such value, we place it inside a string prefixed with ~, for example:

.class {

  filter: ~"ms:alwaysHasItsOwnSyntax.For.Stuff()";

}

This is called an “escaped value”, which will result in:

.class {

  filter: ms:alwaysHasItsOwnSyntax.For.Stuff();

}
