CSS3 Linear Gradients
To create a linear gradient you must define
at least two color stops. Color stops are the colors you want to render smooth transitions
among. You can also set a starting point and a direction (or an angle) along
with the gradient effect.Example of Linear Gradient:
Syntax
background: linear-gradient(direction, color-stop1,
color-stop2, ...);
The following example shows a linear gradient that starts at the top. It starts red, transitioning to blue:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#grad1
{
height:200px;
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(red, blue); /* For Safari */
background: -o-linear-gradient(red, blue); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(red, blue); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */
background: linear-gradient(red, blue); /* Standard syntax (must be last) */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Linear Gradient - Top to Bottom</h3>
<p>This linear gradient starts at the top. It starts red, transitioning to blue:</p>
<div id="grad1"></div>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions do not support gradients.</p>
</body>
</html>
Linear Gradient - Left to Right
The following example shows a linear gradient that starts from the left. It starts red, transitioning to blue:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#grad1
{
height:200px;
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, red , blue); /* For Safari */
background: -o-linear-gradient(right, red, blue); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(right, red, blue); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */
background: linear-gradient(to right, red , blue); /* Standard syntax (must be last) */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Linear Gradient - Left to Right</h3>
<p>This linear gradient starts at the left. It starts red, transitioning to blue:</p>
<div id="grad1"></div>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions do not support gradients.</p>
</body>
</html>
Linear Gradient - Diagonal
You can make a gradient diagonally by specifying both the horizontal and vertical starting positions.
The following example shows a linear gradient that starts at top left (and goes to bottom right). It starts red, transitioning to blue:
<html>
<head>
<style>
#grad1
{
height:200px;
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(left top, red , blue); /* For Safari */
background: -o-linear-gradient(bottom right, red, blue); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(bottom right, red, blue); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */
background: linear-gradient(to bottom right, red , blue); /* Standard syntax (must be last) */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Linear Gradient - Diagonal</h3>
<p>This linear gradient starts at top left. It starts red, transitioning to blue:</p>
<div id="grad1"></div>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions do not support gradients.</p>
</body>
</html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#grad1
{
height:200px;
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(red, blue); /* For Safari */
background: -o-linear-gradient(red, blue); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(red, blue); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */
background: linear-gradient(red, blue); /* Standard syntax (must be last) */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Linear Gradient - Top to Bottom</h3>
<p>This linear gradient starts at the top. It starts red, transitioning to blue:</p>
<div id="grad1"></div>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions do not support gradients.</p>
</body>
</html>
Linear Gradient - Left to Right
The following example shows a linear gradient that starts from the left. It starts red, transitioning to blue:
Example
A linear gradient from left to right:<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#grad1
{
height:200px;
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, red , blue); /* For Safari */
background: -o-linear-gradient(right, red, blue); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(right, red, blue); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */
background: linear-gradient(to right, red , blue); /* Standard syntax (must be last) */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Linear Gradient - Left to Right</h3>
<p>This linear gradient starts at the left. It starts red, transitioning to blue:</p>
<div id="grad1"></div>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Internet Explorer 9 and earlier versions do not support gradients.</p>
