To have a gradient background on an element I do something like this:
.css(\'filter\',\'progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=\\\'#FFFFFF\
there is a jQuery plugin used to work with gradient. i have never used it but it looks simple

or you could use use Gradientz

Gradientz looks even more complete and easy to use. Up to you good luck buddy.
Nope. jQuery doesn't have a native implementation of vendor-prefixes. Not very surprising, too; jQuery is a JavaScript library, designed to make JavaScript cross-browser.
Check out CSS3 Finalize for a plugin.
