Webkit support for gradient transitions

Trying to do the same thing.

As of right now I do not think it is possible to animate a gradient.

I’m using a workaround. Instead of animating the gradient, I’m using a semi-transparent gradient for the background-image and then animating the background color.

#button
{
    background-color: #dbdbdb;
    background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom,
    color-stop(0%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9)),
    color-stop(100%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6))
    );
}

#button:hover
{
   background-color: #353535;
}

I also put up some examples here: http://tylergaw.com/www/lab/css-gradient-transition-sorta/
