Enhancing CSS with Additional Properties

As a web developer, I recently had the opportunity to explore the new LOGIN PAGE preview of GMAIL and was very impressed with the Sign In button's UI. After examining the Page's CSS, I discovered some interesting properties, such as:

**background-color: #4D90FE;
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear,left top,left bottom,from(#4d90fe),to(#4787ed));
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,#4d90fe,#4787ed);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#4d90fe,#4787ed);
background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top,#4d90fe,#4787ed);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top,#4d90fe,#4787ed);
background-image: linear-gradient(top,#4d90fe,#4787ed);**

I am now seeking advice on how to optimize the page for all major browsers using these CSS extension properties. Is there a reference link available for these extensions or any other useful resources?

Thank you.

Answer №1

For information on browser-specific gradient codes, consider using Google as a resource. Much of this information has been available since early 2010.

Here are a few examples of browser-specific gradient codes:

.gradient-bg {
   /* fallback/image non-cover color */
   background-color: #1a82f7; 

   /* fallback image */
   background-image: url(images/fallback-gradient.png); 

   /* Safari 4+, Chrome 1-9 */
   background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#2F2727), to(#1a82f7));

   /* Safari 5.1+, Mobile Safari, Chrome 10+ */
   background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #2F2727, #1a82f7); 

   /* Firefox 3.6+ */
   background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #2F2727, #1a82f7);

   /* Opera 11.10+ */
   background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #2F2727, #1a82f7);
}

This information was sourced from here.

If you want to determine which browser supports a particular selector, testing is crucial in the process.

For easy cross-browser gradients, the tool at is recommended as it also supports IE6-9.

To discover which technique is compatible with different browsers, visiting http://caniuse.com is a valuable resource.

For those looking for a thorough rundown of Mozilla's CSS extensions (or elements that are not fully standardized yet), check out this link: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS_Reference/Mozilla_Extensions

While there is an effort to compile all vendor-specific CSS properties at , this resource may be incomplete and outdated due to the rapid changes in this field. It's advisable to refer to CSS3 for the most up-to-date information. If a feature is already included in CSS3, vendor prefixes will likely be phased out soon. However, if a feature is not listed, it may not be safe to use on production websites as its functionality could change or browser support may cease.
