CSS Gradients

After hunting and pecking for a way to effectively implement a background gradient without an image (because it poses a scrolling problem, see below), I came up empty. UNLESS you are using (in my opinion) worst internet browser ever created: Internet Explorer, but that’s the topic of another post. The point is there is no way to implement a gradient with simple CSS. I think that this feature should be implemented but that’s just me.

As mentioned above, using an image you run into a problem when the page is longer then the original image (if you’re repeating width-wise) or wider then the original image (if you’re repeating length-wise).

Bottom line: we need a gradient CSS hack/implementation.
