Gradient borders

Question

I'm trying to apply a gradient to a border, I thought it was as simple as doing this:

border-color: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #555555, #111111);

But this does not work.

Does anyone know what is the correct way to do border gradients?

Answer 1

WebKit now (and Chrome 12 at least) supports gradients as border image:

-webkit-border-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#00abeb), to(#fff), color-stop(0.5, #fff), color-stop(0.5, #66cc00)) 21 30 30 21 repeat repeat;

Gradient Borders from Css-Tricks: http://css-tricks.com/examples/GradientBorder/

.multbg-top-to-bottom {
  border-top: 3px solid black;
  background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 100%, from(#000), to(transparent));
  background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(#000, transparent);
  background-image:
      -moz-linear-gradient(#000, transparent),
      -moz-linear-gradient(#000, transparent);
  background-image:
      -o-linear-gradient(#000, transparent),
      -o-linear-gradient(#000, transparent);
  background-image: 
      linear-gradient(#000, transparent),
      linear-gradient(#000, transparent);
  -moz-background-size: 3px 100%;
  background-size: 3px 100%;
  background-position: 0 0, 100% 0;
  background-repeat: no-repeat; 
}
