filter only for ie?

[kellogs]

Is there anyway to create a filter or gradient effect that will work on opera or any browser other than ie?

I'm aware of this:

<td width="1000" height="500" style="filter: progidXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(startColorStr='#000000', endColorStr='#ffffff', gradientType='1')"> </td>

which only works in IE. But, I'd like to do this in a way that will work in other browsers as well, and not just IE.
