yohooo
Not bad!
Throw some transition into that and it’ll be even fancy-er! :)
Awesome Man ! Thanx Big Thanx !
Is there a fix for line wrapping? When my link is long enough to wrap onto the next line, the next line won’t be underlined.
I didn’t find a solution to properly wrap the gradient, so I had to disable wrapping for the link:
a {
white-space: nowrap;
}
For Firefox needs -moz-linear-gradient(left, transparent 0%,#444 50%,transparent 100%);
not bad.but it is only work in chrome.
Hi, cool trick. You can make it work on other browser by adding vendor specific properties:
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(left, transparent 0%,#444 50%,transparent 100%);
background: -moz-linear-gradient(left, transparent 0%,#444 50%,transparent 100%);
background: -o-linear-gradient(left, transparent 0%,#444 50%,transparent 100%);
background: linear-gradient(left, transparent 0%,#444 50%,transparent 100%);
Nice trick !!
