Web Design / HTML Web Design / HTML Design Basics Learn HTML CSS XML Careers From Jennifer Kyrnin, your Guide to Web Design / HTML Gradients, especially linear ones, are a wonderful addition to the web designer's arsenal. I remember when you had to use JPG images to create gradients, and if you weren't careful, or your customers used monitors with few colors, you'd end up with these horrific pixelated messes. It is so much better now that we can just use CSS3 (and a couple of filters for IE) to get beautiful gradients. This week also has a couple of FAQ pages and a way you can submit your own questions to the FAQs. I also have to say that I have some really exciting news to share with you next week. If you have friends, co-workers, or family members who want to learn to build web pages, you'll want to watch this newsletter next week. I have a huge announcement! I can barely wait to tell you!

Learn how to create gradients for backgrounds using CSS3. Gradients are a color technique where one color gradually fades into another color. Before CSS3 if you wanted a gradient, you needed to create a tileable graphic to use as the background for your element. But now you can use a CSS3 style property (and appropriate browser extension properties) to get gradients that work in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari.
