Highcharts chart option backgroundColor:'transparent' showing black on IE 8

Question

Highcharts chart option backgroundColor:'transparent' showing black on IE 8

histogram = new Highcharts.Chart({             chart: { renderTo: 'histogram', defaultSeriesType: 'bar',                      backgroundColor:'transparent'             } 

This works fine on I.E 9 and others but fails on I.E 8 and Safari anyone has any idea why ?

Answer 1

Can you try this -

backgroundColor: null
