do you know where can I find examples about CSS, something more advanced not basic. I want to set a 2-color background (gradient). some people says it's impossible, Is it??

This should keep you busy! the W3 CSS2 specs, everything you ever wanted to know about CSS2 in one unabridged version (approx 350 page PDF)
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/
good hunting

Ikaro...it IS impossible to create a gradient with CSS. Just use an image.

Ok Here is the answer:

visit http://www.jacindaswebdesign.com/Ins...VPScript3.html and look at the secon <DIV> in the <BODY>

I understand that. This is the code that accomplishes that:

FILTER: progid

XImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#00eedddd', startColorstr='#FFaabf9a', gradientType='1');

but what I am trying to tell you is that is not CSS. That's a MS only hack that has nothing to do with CSS other than using CSS to apply it. It's not in the CSS spec and other browsers (can't speak for Opera) don't support it.

While I WISH that it was possible, it's not. Can I ask why it's so important to use CSS to accomplish this effect? Why not just use an image?

I have just redone my website using CSS (sorry I can't stop grinning) and I strongly recomemnd that you do not use any hacks and make sure that it is compliant and it validates.

Nice job Nicky!

Not table tag in site.

BTW

I guess I could always read it myself to check now and then that I actually exist.

You don't, your just a figment of our imaginations.

Ok guys an girls I know it isn't CSS but at least is possible... I'm new with CSS and now I know that users rules 'cos you make a website for them and not for U.

It was just a simple question and Thanx.

Actually...if you're doing work for a client then you do it for the end user. However, if you're making a site for you, about you or about things you like then you can do it however you like. In essence, YOU are the end user.

That is what my personal website is for - me! I very much doubt anyone actually reads it, but I have fun doing it and it is like a canvas for me to learn new stuff.
