CSS transparency gradient

I have a dark hero image and I want to create a transparency gradient to lighten it a bit, with more transparency on the left and less on the right. How would I go about doing that?

Hi Lori,

I looked into this for a long time a while ago and never really seemed to come across a stable cross browser compatible way, although there are great things in the pipe line.

However you can do something like this, if you remove the background property for the class "cover" in the css you will see the original image.

Hope this helps! Craig
