You can make a gradient diagonally by specifying both the horizontal and vertical starting positions. The following example shows a linear gradient that starts at top left (and goes to bottom right). It starts red, transitioning to blue:

<style>
#grad { background: -webkit-linear-gradient(left top, red , blue); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(bottom right, red, blue); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(bottom right, red, blue); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(to bottom right, red , blue); /* Standard syntax */ color:white; } #grad1 { height: 200px; background: -webkit-linear-gradient(left top, red , blue); /* For Safari 5.1 to 6.0 */ background: -o-linear-gradient(bottom right, red, blue); /* For Opera 11.1 to 12.0 */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(bottom right, red, blue); /* For Firefox 3.6 to 15 */ background: linear-gradient(to bottom right, red , blue); /* Standard syntax (must be last) */ } </style> <body> <div id="grad">This has no height set on this element.</div> <br /> <div id="grad1">This element is set to be 200 pixels high.</div> </body> |
This has no height set on this element.
This element is set to be 200 pixels high.

Note: The webkit declaration (for Safari) uses the originating location (left top), while the others use the destination location (bottom right).
