A single calc() suffices to set a point from end-of-gradient and would typically be the only one needed. Other lengths would be relative to that (and, if percentages applied to the span between lengths, percentages would be relative to that as well). Agreed, but even with a different separator I don't like it. It's not a separator at all, but a toggle switch that says "after this, all measures are from the end point instead". I find it difficult to justify making a % mean two different things on two different sides of a slash when they are used on the *same construction*. That seems a lot worse than having % refer to box dimensions when detailing a point at the beginning of the rule, but refer to distance from the starting-point later in the color-stops. > Please, no 'end()'!! Heh, ok. Just an idea. I didn't like it much either - I'm fine with calc(). ~TJ
