PROBLEM
I am trying to combine the CSS3 gradient feature along with a background-image sized specifically and placed specifically in the div. Strange thing is that the background-size property not only applies the size to the image, but also the gradient. However I need to keep the image 30px and apply the graident all the way. Any help would be welcomed?
Thanks in advance
CSS
.accordian-head {
height: 50px;
padding: 10px 10px;
background: #ADADAD;
background-image: url(../img/plus-icon.png) 97% 50%;
background-position:97% 50%;
background-repeat:no-repeat; /* fallback */
background-size:30px;
background-image: url(../img/plus-icon.png), -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#F4F4F4), to(#ADADAD)); /* Saf4+, Chrome */
background-image: url(../img/plus-icon.png), -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #F4F4F4 0%, #ADADAD 100%); /* Chrome 10+, Saf5.1+ */
background-image: url(../img/plus-icon.png), -moz-linear-gradient(top, #F4F4F4 0%, #ADADAD 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background-image: url(../img/plus-icon.png), -ms-linear-gradient(top, #F4F4F4 0%, #ADADAD 100%); /* IE10 */
background-image: url(../img/plus-icon.png), -o-linear-gradient(top, #F4F4F4 0%, #ADADAD 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */
background-image: url(../img/plus-icon.png), linear-gradient(top, #F4F4F4 0%, #ADADAD 100%); /* W3C */
}
You have two layers, one for the image and one for the gradient. When you specify one background-size value, it applies to both layers.
To stretch the gradient you need to explicitly give it its own size:
background-size:30px, 100%;
What you could do is use nested divs, and apply the gradient on top.
<div class="gradient">
<div class="image" style="background-image:url(../img/plus-icon.png)">
</div>
</div>
.gradient {
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#F4F4F4), to(#ADADAD));
/* etc */
}
.image {
background-size: 30%;
}
Is it possible to amend/adjust a gradient background so the fade starts lower done. Example, see the fiddle here http://jsfiddle.net/gZgLc/5/
Let's say for example I wanted the white ti start to fade in at the '123test' text, how would I do this?
HTML
<div id="main">
<div class="feature-box">
<div class="feature-box-tab">
<div class="slide" style="height:250px;">
<div class="inner">
<ul class="breadcrumb">
<li>Home</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="single-feature-top">
<p>123test. 123test<br><br>
</div>
<br>
</div>
CSS
#main {
width:958px;
position:relative;
top:-9px;
background:#FF9900 url(../images/core/header.png) no-repeat center top;
border:1px solid #dadada;
border-top:none;
border-bottom:2px solid #dadada;
-webkit-border-radius:8px;
-moz-border-radius:8px;
-ms-border-radius:8px;
-o-border-radius:8px;
border-radius:8px;
margin:0 auto 25px;
background: #fff;
background: url('linear-gradient.png') 0 0 repeat-x;
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#fff, #FF9900);
Definately ... You have to use percentages for that.

Question, if I wanted to create gradient lines that fade out on the top and bottom, similar to the lines seen on AT&T's drop down menu that separate the menu items, how would I go about that? I want to create a similar effect on a menu that I am coding, and I would prefer not to use images. Is there a way to achieve this in CSS? Help much appreciated! Thanks.
Microsoft CSS Gradient is a GUI you can use. just copy the CSS into your code:
Example:
#div {
/* IE10 Consumer Preview */
background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(bottom, #FFFFFF 0%, #00A3EF 100%);
/* Mozilla Firefox */
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(bottom, #FFFFFF 0%, #00A3EF 100%);
/* Opera */
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(bottom, #FFFFFF 0%, #00A3EF 100%);
/* Webkit (Safari/Chrome 10) */
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left bottom, left top, color-stop(0, #FFFFFF), color-stop(1, #00A3EF));
/* Webkit (Chrome 11+) */
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(bottom, #FFFFFF 0%, #00A3EF 100%);
/* W3C Markup, IE10 Release Preview */
background-image: linear-gradient(to top, #FFFFFF 0%, #00A3EF 100%);
}
You can create a div with 1px width then assign a gradient on it. Like that :
.line{
width:1px;
height : 25px;
margin : 0 5px;
background: rgb(125,185,232);
background: url(data:image/svg+xml;base64,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);

You have repeating-gradient as well for this :
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/zbLkl
background:repeating-linear-gradient(
top ,
white 0,
white 1em,
turquoise 1em,
turquoise 1.2em) 0 2.4em;
line-height:1.2em;
Set equal line-height to gradient , so gradient will follow font-size.
the time to dig it, an old example with squares. and background-size.http://dabblet.com/gist/4750827
background:
linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0 , rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 1px ,transparent 1px ,transparent),

Is there any way to create a gradient background using nothing but CSS?
You can see an example of what I want to achieve on this website.
Use this in your CSS:
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(254,133,107) 24%, rgb(35,171,17) 62%);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(254,133,107) 24%, rgb(35,171,17) 62%);
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left bottom, left top, color-stop(0.24, rgb(254,133,107)), color-stop(0.62, rgb(35,171,17)));
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(254,133,107) 24%, rgb(35,171,17) 62%);
background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(254,133,107) 24%, rgb(35,171,17) 62%);
/* This last line is all you need for modern browsers */
background-image: linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(254,133,107) 24%, rgb(35,171,17) 62%);

The MDN documentation
Simple and easy to make. Try this link
/* IE10 Consumer Preview */
background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #FCFEFF 0%, #AF00EF 100%);
/* Mozilla Firefox */
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #FCFEFF 0%, #AF00EF 100%);
/* Opera */
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #FCFEFF 0%, #AF00EF 100%);
/* Webkit (Safari/Chrome 10) */
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0, #FCFEFF), color-stop(1, #AF00EF));
/* Webkit (Chrome 11+) */
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #FCFEFF 0%, #AF00EF 100%);
/* W3C Markup, IE10 Release Preview */
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #FCFEFF 0%, #AF00EF 100%);
Use background-image with linear-gradient() or radial-gradient().
.linear-gradient {
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #000077, #65A5FF);
}
.radial-gradient {
background-image: radial-gradient(#000077, #65A5FF);
}
div {
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
}
<h1>Linear gradient</h1>
<div class="linear-gradient"></div>
<h1>Radial gradient</h1>
<div class="radial-gradient"></div>
According to caniuse.com, CSS gradients are supported by all major browsers. If you have to support IE <= 9, use plain-color or image background fallback. If you have to support Android Browser <= 4.3, also use prefixed version (-webkit-linear-gradient).
.bckgrnd {
background-color:Green;
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%,0% 0%, from(Green), to(Yellow));
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, Green, Yellow);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, Green, Yellow);
background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, Green, Yellow);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, Green, Yellow);
}

But there are also images and other things on this website, so if you want to copy the style, look how they have done it and try to implement it on your own ! There is also a website which has pretty neet background pattern's which, combined with gradients look absolutely rich and beautiful:
http://subtlepatterns.com/
A simple sample code for gradients which will be displayed in every browser:
background: rgb(243,226,199);

or
background: linear-gradient(#FFFFFF, #FAFAFA);
Add two div tag and give background color link this
<div style="background-color:black"> </div>
<div style="background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #55aaee, #003366);"> </div>
This is not exact syntax this is an idea that how u can do
I tried using the "ultimate CSS gradient generator" and it produced the following:
background: #657575; /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(left, #657575 0%, #758585 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, color-stop(0%,#657575), color-stop(100%,#758585)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, #657575 0%,#758585 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(left, #657575 0%,#758585 100%); /* Opera11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(left, #657575 0%,#758585 100%); /* IE10+ */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#657575', endColorstr='#758585',GradientType=1 ); /* IE6-9 */
background: linear-gradient(left, #657575 0%,#758585 100%); /* W3C */
But is seems that the gradient does not work at least with my version of IE9. So is there any way I can produce a simple horizontal gradient with IE9?
Does IE9 support CSS linear gradients?
background:#fff;
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #fff, #000);
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear,left bottom,left top,color-stop(0, #fff),color-stop(1, #000));
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(GradientType=0,startColorstr='#ffffff', endColorstr='#000000');/*For IE7-8-9*/
height: 1%;/*For IE7*/
Here is a site that might help you regarding CSS gradients:
http://www.htmlcenter.com/blog/cross-browser-gradient-backgrounds/
In my option, for fixed height elements I usually use a 1px image and repeat that image across the width of the element. That way you know it will look the same in all browsers.
Example:
.element{
height: 30px;
background: url(<1px image location>) repeat-x;
}
There are also websites that will create these gradient images for you. Here is one that is free to use:
