I'm using a gradient as a background. I was hoping that the gradient would start out darker and gradually lighten as it gets to the other end of the container that it is applied to. Instead, what I notice is that the darker part covers around 90% and only after this 90% does it start to get lighter. It would be nice if around 50% it was halfway between the start and end color. Is there any way of achieving this? Here is my css:
background: -moz-linear-gradient(center bottom , #f4f7fa 0pt, #FFFFFF 100%) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
background: linear-gradient(bottom, #f4f7fa 0, white 100%);
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(bottom, #d6d6d6 0, white 100%);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#f4f7fa', endColorstr='#FFFFFF', GradientType=0);
Try using this code
background: linear-gradient(bottom, #D6D6D6 0%, #FFFFFF 50%);
background: -o-linear-gradient(bottom, #D6D6D6 0%, #FFFFFF 50%);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(bottom, #D6D6D6 0%, #FFFFFF 50%);
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(bottom, #D6D6D6 0%, #FFFFFF 50%);
background: -ms-linear-gradient(bottom, #D6D6D6 0%, #FFFFFF 50%);
Gradient property explanation:
linear-gradient(Gradient Starting Position,Color & Offset,Color & Offset);
So in your code the color #D6D6D6 started form 0% and moves upwards,
then color #FFFFFF stated form 100% as offset is set as 100%(and it ends there too).
So to get the consistent flow from one color to other you should set the offset of second color to 50%.

I'd like to insert a picture to separate the 'limits' of the progress bar.
Hence the right side would be red, than I'd have my little picture, followed by a green side
Is it possible?
Client side it is all just html, css and javascript. A css linear gradient already works great (boundaries at 10 and 90 percent)
.ui-progressbar {
background: -moz-linear-gradient(left, rgba(0,255,0,1) 0%, rgba(0,255,0,0) 10%, rgba(255,0,0,0) 90%, rgba(255,0,0,1) 100%);
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, rgba(0,255,0,1) 0%,rgba(0,255,0,0) 10%,rgba(255,0,0,0) 90%,rgba(255,0,0,1) 100%);
background: linear-gradient(to right, rgba(0,255,0,1) 0%,rgba(0,255,0,0) 10%,rgba(255,0,0,0) 90%,rgba(255,0,0,1) 100%);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#00ff00', endColorstr='#ff0000',GradientType=1 );
}

Example markup using those colors:
/* IE10 Consumer Preview */
background-image: -ms-radial-gradient(center, circle farthest-corner, #A3CEF2 0%, #5D95CC 100%);
/* Mozilla Firefox */
background-image: -moz-radial-gradient(center, circle farthest-corner, #A3CEF2 0%, #5D95CC 100%);
/* Opera */
background-image: -o-radial-gradient(center, circle farthest-corner, #A3CEF2 0%, #5D95CC 100%);
/* Webkit (Safari/Chrome 10) */
background-image: -webkit-gradient(radial, center center, 0, center center, 506, color-stop(0, #A3CEF2), color-stop(1, #5D95CC));
/* Webkit (Chrome 11+) */
background-image: -webkit-radial-gradient(center, circle farthest-corner, #A3CEF2 0%, #5D95CC 100%);
/* W3C Markup, IE10 Release Preview */
background-image: radial-gradient(circle farthest-corner at center, #A3CEF2 0%, #5D95CC 100%);
The css they use are as follows:
.mobile-callout {
background: radial-gradient(circle, #94D2F8, #3A92C8) repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;
}
.front-page {
background-color: #292929;
}
So I guess the code you are looking for is:
'...': radial-gradient(circle, #94D2F8, #3A92C8) repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;
I'm looking at the heroku website: https://www.heroku.com/
I was curious how they have achieved the ability to have a full page gradient on the home page with content under it, and then on the next page, seemingly with very similar markup, they have been able to keep the exact same section of gradient but applied only to the navigation bar at the top.
How might I get that kind of technique?
Apply the gradient to the body, and then having a transparent div on the front page?
Apply the gradient to a full height div, then have a transparent header div on top of it with a white coloured body.

You can use your inspect tool to see their css:
background-image:
-webkit-radial-gradient(50% top, rgba(84,90,182,0.6) 0%, rgba(84,90,182,0) 75%),
-webkit-radial-gradient(right top, #794aa2 0%, rgba(121,74,162,0) 57%);
This is just a bit complicated, but not too much:
1) You can have multiple backgrounds, which is often useful as a fallback or for more complex gradients
2) You can set the origin and "destination" of a gradient using percentages or just names like "top right" "bottom" and such, thus avoing having to give an angle - so it's always the same thing, independent of the aspect ratio.
Worth noting is, that they specifically only support webkit (Chrome, Safari), even though I'm pretty sure this could easily be done on any modern browser.
Hope this clears it up a bit.

Is there a way to replicate the following texture/fill using only CSS? I want to use the same kind of diagonal lines over top other containers with different background fills, so I'm hoping there might be a way to do it in CSS without having to create patterns and using them as images.
Any ideas how I might be able to do this? I'm guessing that it'll probably have to be something like this:
<div id="gradientFill">
<div class="linePattern">
<!-- Content goes here -->
</div>
</div>
Is there a better solution? I don't want to run into problems with using alpha/transparency on the diagonal lines and then having the content be transparent as well.
SOLUTION POSTED BELOW.
You can use multiple background images on the button, so you have your standard gradient with the stripy gradient on top tiled using background-size:
.stripy {
background-image:
linear-gradient(45deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2) 25%, transparent 25%, transparent 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2) 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.2) 75%, transparent 75%, transparent),
linear-gradient(bottom, rgb(83,84,84) 0%, rgb(181,181,181) 100%);
background-size:50px 50px, auto;
}
The stripes are a bit thick, but with a bit of experimentation it should be possible to get what you want.
A CORRECT SOLUTION:
jsFiddle: If you're not seeing the diagonal lines, it's because jsFiddle doesn't really like external links to hosted images from imgur. Just copy and paste the imgur url in another tap to get it in your cache, then reload the Fiddle.
The key to the solution is the relative positioning of the color background, and the absolute positioning of the texture/line overlay. For future visitors to this post, if you want to overlay a texture on an image, apply:
position:relative
...to your image div, and:
position:absolute
...to your overlay div.

<div class="lines"></div>

background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #ea765a 0%,#d2583b 100%); /* W3C */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#ea765a', endColorstr='#d2583b',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
}
.lines {
position:absolute;
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:0;

background:url(../img/lines.png);
opacity:0.05;
}

I really need an improvement with my css button/anchor. I can't really get the right 'triangle'( which is really a square, rotated) to blend into the button properly.
Is there something else I should be doing? I've seen some people manipulate borders to make an actual triangle. But I've found that I can't really get the gradient with that method. I'd really appreciate all the help I can get with this.
Thank you in advance!
The problem I'm seeing is that the main button is a light to dark gradient from top to bottom, but the rotated "triangle" is a gradient from right to left. If you can rotate your gradient to go from top to bottom on the rotated one (so, rotate the gradient 90 deg) then you'd be set.
i was just trying at the jsfiddle with the answer from Mike
.arrow:before{
background: -moz-linear-gradient(left top, #ffffff 0%, #e6e6e6 100%);
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%, #ffffff), color-stop(100%, #e6e6e6));
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(left top, #ffffff 0%, #e6e6e6 100%);
background: -o-linear-gradient(left top, #ffffff 0%, #e6e6e6 100%);
background: -ms-linear-gradient(left top, #ffffff 0%, #e6e6e6 100%);
background: linear-gradient(left top, #ffffff 0%, #e6e6e6 100%);
should work!
