Gradient in background color

Is is possible to define a background with a gradient from blue to white with CSS?

I only think that these filters are used for the font color. I need to make a background that goes from #efefef to white. I don't think I can use this filter for this, or am I wrong?

With standard CSS it's definately not possible. Maybe CSS 3 will have some gradient support, but taking a quick look at the working draft of the colour module I couldn't see anything I'm afraid

Then why not use an image as the background?
