I want to apply a gradient background color to my div.

For IE I have used the property:

filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#fad59f', endColorstr='#fa9907')

It's working in IE9 and IE8. But not working in IE7.

What should I do to see in IE?

Here is a JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/xRcXL/2/

Having seen your fiddle in the comments the issue is quite easy to fix. You just need to add overflow:auto or set a specific height to your div. Live example: http://jsfiddle.net/tw16/xRcXL/3/

.Tab{
    overflow:auto; /* add this */
    border:solid 1px #faa62a;
    border-bottom:none;
    padding:7px 10px;
    background:-moz-linear-gradient(center top , #FAD59F, #FA9907) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    background:-webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#fad59f), to(#fa9907));
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#fad59f, endColorstr=#fa9907);    
    -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=#fad59f, endColorstr=#fa9907)";
}
