Is there any way to accomplish a gradient color fading from one color to the next in HTML or CSS?

John,

The short answer is "no"...there's nothing that has been accepted into the standards for either CSS or (x)HTML that will accomplish a gradient. That being said, I seem to remember an IE-only "filter" effect that may do this, but if you're try to stay cross-browser compatible, Firefox and others will ignore the IE only stuff.

There may be some interesting stuff coming to the pipe with XAML, but Lord only knows at this time what the compatibility will be.

I hope this helps...
Ric

Thanks Ric
