Just gota cover all the browsers with the gradient stuff... can also drop in a png with a gradient and opacity set on it, called as a background in css.
Code:
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#333333', endColorstr='#000000' );
filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr=’#333333’, endColorstr=’#000000’, GradientType=0 );
background: -webkit-gradient( linear,left top,left bottom,color-stop( 0%, #333333 ), color-stop( 100%, #000000) );
background: -moz-linear-gradient( top, #333333, #000000 );
background-image: -o-linear-gradient( #333333, #000000 );
background: -webkit-gradient( linear, left top, left bottom, from( #333333 ), to( #000000 ) );
background: -moz-linear-gradient( top, #333333, #000000 );
