Re: Background colour gradients

I am not aware of any way to do this on the web.

The background image could be put into a table width set at 100% but that
will only be viewable on some of the browsers. And besides in addition to
resolution when you get to 256 color a gradient will most likely band
anyway - not to mention it will look different in Mac than PC.

Perhaps you might just decide what size the page will be and put all of
theinformation within a table of that size which is also the size of the
background image then set a background color for the page that is the final
color on the righthand side of the page.

I just had some fun building http://www.spiritways.com that used black and
white as doors to a dual site, but sorry no gradient.
