Flip, mirror image in IE8 - CSS

Question

As above how can i flip image in IE8.

-moz-transform: scaleX(-1);
    -o-transform: scaleX(-1);
    -webkit-transform: scaleX(-1);
    transform: scaleX(-1);
    filter: FlipH;
    -ms-filter: "FlipH";

This works fine but not in IE8

Answer 1

filter:fliph should work in IE4-8, even without -ms- prefix (which was needed only for early beta versions of IE8). Probably you should add parentheses filter:fliph() as this demo suggests. You can also try the newer IE5.5-9 syntax — filter: DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=2, mirror=1) (as MSDN recommends).

Older IE versions required the element to have layout to apply filters to it (how to make an element have layout, is described ), but, AFAIK, IE8 doesn't require it.
