Is there a way to creat a gradient with a stop n pixels from the bottom edge of the element?
For example with Moz/Firefox it would look like:
-moz-linear-gradient(center bottom , #f00 2%, #d00 31px)
It should also be noted that this gradient has a companion gradient to do the same thing to the very top of the box. So really the css looks like this for FF and i need to reproduce for webkit:
background-image:
-moz-linear-gradient(center top , rgba(255,0,0,0.75) 2%, rgba(255,0,0,0) 31px),
-moz-linear-gradient(center bottom , rgba(255,0,0,0.75) 2%, rgba(255,0,0,0) 31px);
Safari supports two types of CSS gradients: linear and radial.
First, -webkit-gradient uses a two-point syntax that lets you explicitly state where a linear gradient starts and ends. linear-gradient does away with this in favor of convenient box-filling behavior. If you really want the gradient to stop before the edges of the box, you can do so via color stop placement.
CSS Linear GradientsTo 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.
To add transparency, we use the rgba() function to define the color stops. The last parameter in the rgba() function can be a value from 0 to 1, and it defines the transparency of the color: 0 indicates full transparency, 1 indicates full color (no transparency).
You can't do that with the current webkit syntax. Good news though! There will be a new -webkit-linear-gradient property (just announced on the webkit blog) that basically matches the -moz syntax and will allow you to do this. This syntax should become the definitive CSS3 syntax, so you'll be able to drop the -webkit and -moz entirely at some point. (The old -webkit-gradient property will continue to work indefinitely, but is not favored going forward.)
