I found a way for each browser to have dynamic gradients that are not images, and will resize and re-gradient which is great for some applications in CSS and HTML design. As of yet, Opera browser is not allowing any kind of dynamic color gradient to be created with CSS, which is one of the reasons I do not support Opera in any work that I do.

Here is the html to test the css out

grad1.html

Code: Select all

<html>
	<head>
		<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="grad1.css" />
	</head>
	<body>
		<div class="gradient_firefox_only">
			<h3>gradient_firefox_only</h3>
			<h4>testing a blue to white gradient</h4>
			<h3>1</h3>
			<h3>2</h3>
			<h3>3</h3>
			<h3>4</h3>
		</div>

		<div class="gradient_ie_only">
			<h3>IE directX style gradient</h3>
		</div>

		<div class="gradient_chrome_safari_only">
			<h3>chrome and safari style gradient</h3>
		</div>
		
		<div class="allBrowsersGradient">
			<h1>works on ff/ie/safari/chrome but NOT opera (11-15-2010)</h1>
			<h1>you will notice that ie does not respect the div height, ff and chrome/safari do</h1>
			<h1>2</h1>
			<h1>3</h1>
			<h1>4</h1>
		</div>
	</body>
</html>

here is the css to show the differences per browser
