I'm trying to make gradients to the block.
Code:
a {
display: inline-block;
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 330px;
height: 160px
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #fdfdfd 0%,#fcfcfc 100%);
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #fdfdfd 0%,#fcfcfc 100%);
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #fdfdfd 0%,#fcfcfc 100%);
}
It works fine in chrome 27, ff 22, but in safari 6 I have strange lines in the middle.
I know, that safari supports only -webkit-linear-gradient, but it works strange for me.
Also find -webkit-mask-image, but not sure, that it will help.
Fiddle
Any ideas?
Safari and older versions of Chrome have problems displaying gradients with very similar colors, I'd suggest to switch to SVG gradients. You gain IE 9 support in the process. The syntax is not very nice, unfortunately:
background-image:url(data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDAlIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjEwMCUiIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxIDEiIHByZXNlcnZlQXNwZWN0UmF0aW89Im5vbmUiPgo8bGluZWFyR3JhZGllbnQgaWQ9Imc3NiIgZ3JhZGllbnRVbml0cz0idXNlclNwYWNlT25Vc2UiIHgxPSIwJSIgeTE9IjAlIiB4Mj0iMTAwJSIgeTI9IjEwMCUiPgo8c3RvcCBzdG9wLWNvbG9yPSIjRkRGREZEIiBvZmZzZXQ9IjAiLz48c3RvcCBzdG9wLWNvbG9yPSIjRkNGQ0ZDIiBvZmZzZXQ9IjEiLz4KPC9saW5lYXJHcmFkaWVudD4KPHJlY3QgeD0iMCIgeT0iMCIgd2lkdGg9IjEiIGhlaWdodD0iMSIgZmlsbD0idXJsKCNnNzYpIiAvPgo8L3N2Zz4=);

You can use Microsoft's SVG gradient generator if you want to tweak the gradient: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/graphics/svggradientbackgroundmaker/

I ran into an issue with Safari 10 and CSS border image gradients. It works in all other browsers, and even in Safari 9. It even shows up in Safari 10 in online simulators. Please see images below:
(I guess that's IE 11, not IE 10. Thanks for the correction!)
I assumed it was just my CSS so I really simplfied it and made a fiddle. You can see it at https://jsfiddle.net/tgbuxkee/
It's also generated below too.
div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 6px solid transparent;
-moz-border-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #f0e2d0 0%, #c08b62 100%);
-webkit-border-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #f0e2d0 0%, #c08b62 100%);
border-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #f0e2d0 0%, #c08b62 100%);
-webkit-border-image-slice: 2;
border-image-slice: 2;
}
<div>
</div>
Does anybody have any idea why this could be happening? I know there is a bug with some image borders in Safari but I don't think that is the case here (maybe it is).
And guidance is helpful.
Thank you.
I have run into this issue in the past and remember reading somewhere on the web that avoiding the border-color: transparent setting would solve the problem. I don't remember where I read about it.
It seems like Safari 10 on Mac gives preference to the transparent border color over the border image and so displays nothing. Just setting the border-width and border-style alone would solve it. This solution works on other supported browsers also.
Tested on Chrome v56 (dev), Safari 10 (Mac), Safari 5 (Windows), Safari (iOS), IE11, Edge, Firefox 47.0.1, Opera 41.
Note: You've quoted IE10 in the question but as far as I know border-image doesn't work in it and so the given solution also doesn't.
div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border-width: 6px;
border-style: solid;
-moz-border-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #f0e2d0 0%, #c08b62 100%);
-webkit-border-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #f0e2d0 0%, #c08b62 100%);
border-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #f0e2d0 0%, #c08b62 100%);
-webkit-border-image-slice: 2;
border-image-slice: 2;
}
<div>
</div>
The following may be helpful supplemental information. The accepted answer is still true for Safari 11 (as of posting), but for the record, I have also found that with, border-image:url, Safari(v11) will accept the shorthand border, with transparent, if you list the -webkit- vendor prefix last, like this:
div {
border:1px solid transparent;
border-image:url([some-border-image]) 1 0 1 repeat;
-webkit-border-image:url([some-border-image]) 1 0 1 repeat;
}
Since it is non-standard to list the vendor prefix last, I prefer the accepted answer as most web standards friendly.
I have a really simple CSS radial gradient, which looks significantly different in different in Safari and others:
<style>
body {
background: #000;
}
div {
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
background-image: radial-gradient(100px, #1493a4 0%, transparent 100%);
}
</style>
<div></div>
Any ideas, how I could make them all look like the Safari version?
Safari Firefox
Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/2234zy6o/3/
I finally found a simple solution: Safari needs an own style:
background-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(#1493a4, transparent);
Just make sure to add it after the standard definition, other browsers then use the standard one and ignore the -webkit one, while Safari sees the first but then finds -webkit and ignores the standard.
But it's not quite the same, nevertheless. So I did some 'interpolation' and added some stops:
background-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(100px,
#1493a4 0%,
rgba(20,147,164,0.4) 40%,
rgba(20,147,164,0.2) 55%,
transparent 100%
);
It's still not the same but quite similar - at least I can live with it.
I'm not getting a gradient in Chrome, but it works in Safari and Firefox. Here is the code:
.accounts-form #auth-form {
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#FEFEFE, #F4F4F4) repeat scroll 0 0 #F4F4F4;
border-bottom-left-radius: 2px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 2px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 40px;
}
It's that background: line that is causing the issue. I have seen other people have the issue with -webkit-gradient, just not -moz-linear-gradient.
The following is the syntax of how a gradient should be applied over a background.
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,1) 0%,rgba(255,255,255,0) 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
It is usually advised to write the code in native version and then run it through http://prefixr.com/ to complete the code with all the browser compatible vendor-prefixes.
Chrome needs a -webkit-gradient; and Chrome 10+ uses a slightly different -webkit-gradient than some earlier versions I believe.
I use this CSS3 gradient generator - whether or not you use the generated code, it gives a good idea of all the properties you will need for each browser.

I'm hoping to achieve a cross browser gradient, if you inspect the anchor at the top right corner running inline with the branding of my mobile site it has been styled with the prefix moz for Firefox:
www.test-bed.co.uk/mobile/
background: -moz-linear-gradient(center top , #4A4A4A, #2C2C2C) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
May I ask is there is a similar way to achieve a cross browser gradient solution with the IE, Opera and webkit prefixes?
An online tool that automates CSS gradient rule generation for all modern browsers: little link.
But generically, here's the main syntax:
background: #color; /*fallback*/
background: -moz-linear-gradient(...);/*Firefox*/
background: -webkit-gradient(...);/*Chrome + Safari*/
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(...);/*Another Chrome + Safari*/
background: -o-linear-gradient(...); /*Opera*/
background: -ms-linear-gradient(...); /*IE10+*/
background: linear-gradient(...); /*W3C standards*/
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#color', endColorstr='#color',GradientType=0); /*IE6-9*/
Take a look at CSS3 Please. I personally like their indentation style.
.box-gradient {
background-color: #444444;
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#444444), to(#999999)); /* Safari 4+, Chrome */
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #444444, #999999); /* Chrome 10+, Safari 5.1+, iOS 5+ */
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #444444, #999999); /* Firefox 3.6-15 */
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #444444, #999999); /* Opera 11.10-12.00 */
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #444444, #999999); /* Firefox 16+, IE10, Opera 12.50+ */
}
As you can see, there is no -ms- prefix needed since IE10 supports the W3C syntax right away. Please make sure that you use the correct W3C syntax for linear-gradient()!
If you are using firefox as a browser. then you may want to use the addon called colorzilla. It is a nice tool that comes with options like Color picker, Eye Dropper, Pallette browser, CSS gradient generator, web page DOM code Analyzer , inspect Last element as well as zoom.
However you can generator css gradient'sat the folllowing link:

I have been pulling my hair out trying to get the shadows to work on IE... They are working fine in chrome, safari, and firefox! Does someone have experience with this subject? I put the site up so you can see the full code and output.
Test Site
I am using lesscss, so maybe that is my issue? I hope not!!! I am also using the IE CSS3 Fix, ie-css3.htcThe code I am using is as follows... I was attempting to do this without the htc, but with no luck.. at least the htc got my background gradients to work in IE... before it was showing only blue-black, the default Microsoft background gradient colors.
predefine.less
.RUNgradient(#COLOR: #CLR1){
#CLRL:lighten(#COLOR, 10%);
#CLRD:darken(#COLOR, 10%);
background-color: #CLRL;
background-repeat:repeat-x;
background-image: -khtml-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#CLRL), to(#CLRD));
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #CLRL, #CLRD);
background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #CLRL, #CLRD);
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, #CLRL), color-stop(100%, #CLRD));
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #CLRL, #CLRD);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #CLRL, #CLRD);
background-image: linear-gradient(top, #CLRL, #CLRD);
behavior: url(css/ie-css3.htc);
}
styles.less
div.wrapper{
width:500px;
margin:25px auto;
padding: 10px 25px;
text-align:center;
.RUNgradient;
.RUNshadow;
p{
font:24px #HEADERFONT;
color:#ffffff;
.RUNtextshadow;
}
}
Filters are the answer! Almost...
For the gradient,
filter: ~"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorStr="#CLRL~", EndColorStr="#CLRD~")";
And for the shadows,
filter: ~"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.shadow(color="#SCLR~", Direction="#DIR~", Strength="#STR~")";
Only thing left is changing the direction in a way to have the shadow visible all around the element, not just to one side.
Solution
After researching Microsoft Filters, I figured out how to get a similar effect. The corners are a bit rough for my liking, but this is MUCH closer than before!
This is the shadow filer I used...
.RUNshadow(#BLURRING:10px){
#SCLR:#111111;
#DIR:225;
#DIR2:45;
#DIR3:135;
#DIR4:315;
#STR:4;
box-shadow: 0px 1px #BLURRING #111111;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 1px #BLURRING #111111;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px #BLURRING #111111;
filter: ~"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.shadow(color="#SCLR~", Direction="#DIR2~", Strength="#STR~")
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.shadow(color="#SCLR~", Direction="#DIR~", Strength="#STR~")
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.shadow(color="#SCLR~", Direction="#DIR3~", Strength="#STR~")
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.shadow(color="#SCLR~", Direction="#DIR4~", Strength="#STR~")";
}
I have been pulling my hair out trying to get the shadows to work on IE... They are working fine in chrome, safari, and firefox! Does someone have experience with this subject?"
Yeah, that's normal. Most people don't bother. Remember to ask yourself, Do Websites Need To Look Exactly The Same In Every Browser?
If you really want this, you'll have to use the gradient filter for IE. Add the following style to your RUNgradient class:
filter: ~"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorStr="#CLRL~", EndColorStr="#CLRD~")";
For both of them you can use IE filters.
You can use the gradient filter for gradients and the Shadow filter for shadows. The gradient filter works very well, the shadow filter looks really bad.
You can read in the documentation of the filters how to use them. But if you want to do it automatic you need see how CSS3 please is dealing with the filters and convert gradients to IE filter gradients.
You need to add these lines to the style tag for making this to work in IE,
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(GradientType=0,startColorstr='#444444', endColorstr='#222222'); /* IE6 & IE7 */
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(GradientType=0,startColorstr='#444444', endColorstr='#222222')"; /* IE8 */
Sample code Snippet:
.ms-viewheadertr ms-vhltr
{
background: #222 ;/when gradients doesn't fill it fills the color/
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#444, #222);/* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#444, #222);/* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */
background: -o-linear-gradient(#444, #222);/* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */
background: linear-gradient(#444, #222);/* Standard syntax */
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(GradientType=0,startColorstr='#444444', endColorstr='#222222'); /* IE6 & IE7 */
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(GradientType=0,startColorstr='#444444', endColorstr='#222222')"; /* IE8 */
}
