Using image value for :before and :after pseudo class content property in IE7

[Joff]

I'm having problems getting IE7 (with IE9.js) to correctly display image data as the content property when using either the :before or :after pseudo classes.  An example:

.someclass:before {
    content: url('images/image.png');
}

In IE8 & 9 the image is displaying correctly but in IE7 it fails to display, text content displays fine.  I've experimented with using base64 encoded values for the content property with no success.

Has anyone come across this before?

Joff, You can use background:url(image.png) insted.

I have similar problem with displaying an image when using .myelement:hover:before { ... }. It works in IE9 but not in 7 and 8. Im also use ie9.js.

Here is the example http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45456135/tmp/1/page_buttons.html

There is a right corner that generates using the :before. It works in IE9. It can also work in IE8 but only if I dissable the ie9.js script.

Can somebody help me?
