Benefits

  • This is pure CSS trick, no Javascript or Flash. It works on most browsers including IE6 (PNG hack required).
  • It is perfect for designing headings. You don't have to render each heading with Photoshop. This will save you time and bandwidth.
  • You can use on any web fonts and the font size remains scalable.

How does this work?

The trick is very simple. Basically we are just adding a 1px gradient PNG (with alpha transparency) over the text.

The HTML markups

<h1><span></span>CSS Gradient Text</h1>

The CSS

The key point here is:?h1 { position: relative }?and?h1 span {?position: absolute }

h1 {
  font: bold 330%/100% "Lucida Grande";
  position: relative;
  color: #464646;
}
h1 span {
  background: url(gradient.png) repeat-x;
  position: absolute;
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
  height: 31px;
}

That's it!?You are done.?Click here?to view my demo page.

Make it work on IE6

Since IE6 doesn't render PNG-24 properly, the following hack is required in order to display the transparent PNG (add anywhere in between the?<head>?tag):

<!--[if lt IE 7]>

<style>
h1 span {
  background: none;
  filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='gradient.png', sizingMethod='scale');
}
</style>

<![endif]-->

This is why?we hate IE 6!
