Add linear gradient to a scrollable div

Question

I need to add white linear gradient to the bottom of the scrollable div and it should always be at the bottom of a div. I am adding it using position fixed and it works on all browsers except IE >= 9.I need it for all browsers include IE>=9. It should looks like this - http://prntscr.com/ne3rfe

Here is that div's css code

 .perfect-scrollbar::before {
  content: "";
  position: fixed;
  overflow: hidden;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  bottom: 0;
  background: #7db9e8;
  background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #7db9e8 0%, #1e5799 101%);
  background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #7db9e8 0%, #1e5799 101%);
  background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 60%, rgba(255, 255, 255, .8) 101%);
  filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#7db9e8', endColorstr='#1e5799', GradientType=0);
} 

Answer 1

Option 2 posted by @Tigerrrrr works great when you can absolutely position the containing div, but that's not always practical on a page where the div needs to stay within the normal document flow.

Here's an example that doesn't have to be absolutely positioned.

div.main {
  background-color: black;
  color: white;
}

h1 {
  color: yellow;
}

div.songs-wrapper {
  width: 100%;
  position: relative;
}

div.songs-wrapper::after {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  right: 15px;
  height: 120px;
  background-image: linear-gradient(
    to bottom,
    rgba(0, 0, 0, 0),
    rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 100%
  );
}

div.songs {
  overflow-y: scroll;
  height: 400px;
  display: block;
  scrollbar-width: thin;
  scrollbar-color: #ff2222 #444444;
  padding: 0px 5% 0px 5%;
}

div.songs ul {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  padding-bottom: 50px; /* So we scroll just past the faded part */
  -webkit-columns: 250px 3;
  -moz-columns: 250px 3;
  columns: 250px 3;
}

div.songs li {
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 1.2rem;
  line-height: 1.4rem;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  list-style-type: none; /* '\2022'; */
  -webkit-column-break-inside: avoid;
  page-break-inside: avoid;
  break-inside: avoid;
}

<div class="main">
