CSS3 Left to right Gradient
CSS3 left to right gradient creates a smooth color transition that flows horizontally from the left edge to the right edge of an element. This is achieved using the linear-gradient() function with the to right direction.
Syntax
selector {
background: linear-gradient(to right, color1, color2, ...);
}
Example: Basic Left to Right Gradient
The following example creates a red to blue gradient flowing from left to right −
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.gradient-box {
height: 100px;
width: 300px;
background: linear-gradient(to right, red, blue);
border: 1px solid #ccc;
margin: 20px 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="gradient-box"></div>
</body>
</html>
A horizontal rectangle with a smooth gradient transition from red on the left to blue on the right appears on the page.
Example: Multi-Color Gradient
You can create gradients with multiple colors by adding more color stops −
<!DOCTYPE html>

<style>
.multi-gradient {
height: 100px;
width: 300px;

border: 1px solid #ccc;
margin: 20px 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="multi-gradient"></div>
</body>
</html>
