CSS - How To Make A Css Controlled Background Gradient

Given an element of a fixed width but varying heights, is there a way to give that element a gradient background that would scale to the height? I would be really impressed if someone could show me a way. Thanks.

Hello all
Anyone can pls help me with horizontal gradient fill using only the background-color property in css?
Attached is the color I need to get, here it is an image, but I want to do this without using the url tag in css, whereby if possible I enter the color directly to the css code and get something like the image attached...

hey, i have 2 CSS problems.

number 1: my main <div> is not centered in IE. it's fine in FF, mozilla, and opera, but it stays all the way to the left in IE.

Code:

#main { width: 77%; margin: 0 auto; border: 1px solid #999; overflow: auto; background: #970303; color: #FFF; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 20px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 20px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 20px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 20px; }

Code:

<div id='main' align='center'>

number 2: i can't figure out this gradient background stuff. i have an image, 1 px wide and 1000 px high. it works fine, but once theres enough information on a page, and its longer than the 1000px, the image starts over and looks extremely unprofessional. how can i make so that the one gradient image is stretched out for the length of the page?

thanks.

I am very, very new at web design, and would like to make a colored background behind text, although I am sure that is not the right name for it!

For example, in this this website I would like to emulate how to make that curved rectangular background behind the Online Poll, but I have no clue what the name or the source code behind it that makes it so!

If anyone could even just give me the proper name for it so I can google it, I would be very thankful!

I have a gradient background image that goes from dark to light. At the bottom of the table if the body of text grows too large the table will stretch past the length of the background gradient image exposing the bgcolor for the page (not acceptable). If I change the bgcolor of the table the color is applied over the background image. Isn't there a way to fix this with CSS?

Thanks for any help!!!

Even when I zoom out to the least point, I want my background image in my webpage to stay normal size. How do I do this?

Hi.

I would like to create a gradient similar to the microsoft website.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads

Look how the gradients at the top and bottom of the page work. Im sure this is not simply repeating an image.

Does anyone know how this works?
or can point me in the direction of a tutorial on how to achieve this?

I looked at the microsoft site in Opera and NS, and the dynamic grad only seems to work in IE.

So im guessing that you can also set a bkgnd image?
for the other browsers?

many thanks.

Hi all,

I am trying to do the following:

I want to have a page essentially divided into 3 sections: left side|middle|right side. On the left and right sides of the page, I would like to have a gradient that is a dark shade of gray starting from the edge of the screen and getting lighter as it reaches the middle section of the page.

I have seen some tutorials on the web describing how this is accomplished, but I have not had much luck. I have been told that an easy way to do this would be to treat the page as a large table, with the centre cell being another table. I am pretty sure that this is poor design, but I am unsure about how to do this the proper way.

As for the gradient portion, the tutorials indicate that I should make an image that is a few pixels in height and x number of pixels in width, and just do something similar to this:

Code:

.grad{
	background:url("gradient.jpg") top left repeat-y;
}

where "gradient.jpg" is the image I created. I could then apply the "grad" class to any element I wish, but I can not get this to work.

Any ideas would be helpful.

I'm using CSS to create a gradient, and all is well except for the bottom of the page:

For some reason it's placing a red bar at the bottom of the gradient. Any ideas why?

EDIT: Fixed using the following:

Code:

background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;

I want to setup tab links / tab strips like shown in the following article:
http://www.codeproject.com/html/css_round.asp

However, in addition to rounded corners, id like to have the individual tabs use a gradient. Its the center part that im not sure how to handle.

Help ?!!!

Can you do something like the following:
Code:

a.tab { 
   color: #000; 
   background: #fb0 url("left-tab.gif") left top no-repeat; 
   text-decoration: none; 
   padding-left: 10px 
}

a.tab span {
   background: url("right-tab.gif") right top no-repeat;
   padding-right: 10px
}

/*my addition and it does not work */
a.tab span div {
   background: url("center-tab.gif") center top repeat-x;
}

And then use the links like so:
Code:

<a href="#"><span><div>Home</div></span></a>
