background-image

For things like menubars and headers, a background color is nice.

But a background color that gracefully transitions from say Blue to White is even nicer.

I know this can be done by making a 1-pixel wide, X-pixel tall image file containing the desired fade and repeating it across the div, but does CSS have native support to just define colors and be done with it?

Can any other language handle this?
