syntax Syntax: old and new Mozilla Different from the current spec Ms Microsoft Internet Explorer Opera The same as the spec. Webkit Radically different from the current spec The commands to render gradients have been around for a long time and older experimental versions exist that certain browsers recognize because of a browser specific prefix to the command. But, these commands are incompatible with the modern specification in modern browsers so looking at old code can be a bit of a pain when trying to understand what it's doing and how it works. This section tries to explain and document the differences.
