A stylish background

[Bob Phillips]

Hi,

I would like some advice. What I am trying to do is to use CSS to apply a
style to a table cell that will give me a background effect somewhat similar
to a colour fade, i.e. the colour starts at a certain intensity at the top,
and lightens as it gets to the bottom of the cell. I suppose I could create
an image, but I would like to see some imaginative uses of style that will
achieve this, or some other similarly striking effect.

TIA

Bob

<style>

td { filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(GradientType=0,
StartColorStr='#FFFFCC00', EndColorStr='#FFFF3300')}

</style>

Thanks, but I am afraid it doesn't work for me. I have to also admit that I
don't understand it at all. I have looked up DXImageTransform on MS and
found nothing.

Can you please explain it to me and let me know if I need any special
controls or whatever.

TIA

Bob

Time to give up and create an image. A 1px wide png with
background:white url("whatever.png") repeat-x top;

The colour is how you want it to look while the image is loading.
To minimise file size use a palatted image.
