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);
         


        

Answer 1

instead of borders, I would use background gradients and padding. same look, but much easier, more supported.

a simple example:

.g {
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left bottom, left top, color-stop(0.33, rgb(14,173,173)), color-stop(0.67, rgb(0,255,255)));
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(center bottom, rgb(14,173,173) 33%, rgb(0,255,255) 67% );
padding: 2px;
}

.g > div { background: #fff; }

EDIT: You can also leverage the :before selector as @WalterSchwarz pointed out:

body {
    padding: 20px;
}
.circle {
    width: 100%;
    height: 200px;
    background: linear-gradient(to top, #3acfd5 0%, #3a4ed5 100%);
    border-radius: 100%;
    position: relative;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 20px;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}
.circle::before {
    border-radius: 100%;
    content: '';
    background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #3acfd5 0%, #3a4ed5 100%);
    top: -10px;
    left: -10px;
    bottom: -10px;
    right: -10px;
    position: absolute;
    z-index:-1;
}
