I think it's more intuitive for the keyword to describe the starting position of the gradient. It comes as the first parameter, so logically associates with the start of the gradient. Similarly, in the declaration it comes next to the first color stop, so mentally will be associated with that stop. > > linear-gradient(left, black, white) > > It just obviously a black->white gradient from left to right. Being right-to-left just hurts my brain. Dito what Simon says. If 'left' really means 'left-wards', etc, then those keywords should be dropped and replaced by something that actually says what it implies. Or the whole thing should be more verbose, and say 'from left', etc Philippe -- Philippe Wittenbergh http://l-c-n.com/
