I mean, it works – yeah. And it’s a pretty good idea. Very original thought process. It just seems like so much extra work to achieve something you can do with a couple of seconds in photoshop with the gradient tool.
Great idea, really. Just seems a bit excessive to make a gradient.
I recently rediscovered the Power of PNG 24bit transparencies after running some wonderful tests in FireFox and went ga-ga over it. Of course I repeated the tests in IE 6 and wanted to cry… support for this is non existent without going above and beyond compliant mark up for CSS, I wonder how long IE7 will take to hit the masses hard with Windows Vista out. Then we can go Nuts!

I must say that this technique is really great. It also inspired me to create blendy tabs, to use for site navigation. Take a look at:
