background color fade?

Is there a way to fade a background color to another? What I mean is like could the two colors be faded like gradient to each other? I like the gradient scheme, can it be done?

Why not just make a picture of a gradient that is only 1 pixel wide? Like what I have attached.

Example of Gradient Filter for IE5.5+ (copy&paste URL):

Is there a possible way to add to that script Zvona ?

I'm wondering whether you could add an extra colour to the blend that it moves "through".

For instance starting from black, moving through white, then back to black.
I know it can be done by making two seperate tables, which I've done, but placing text inside is more difficult.
It would just make things easier... any idea ?

Also, the gradient function... is there a way to make the blend move from a corner to the opposite corner instead of just top/bottom and left/right ?

Many thanx...

The CSS links and other links are broken :(

Filter?

Avoid those horrid little buggers like the plague, they'll bite you on the *** later on when more people upgrade their browser.
Go with the 1px jpg and use the following CSS
#element {
background:#fff url(images/gradient.jpg) repeat-y;
}
