jQuery css gradient

Question

To have a gradient background on an element I do something like this:

.css('filter','progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=\'#FFFFFF\', endColorstr=\'#'+event.backgroundColor+'\', gradientType=1)')
.css('background-image','-webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right bottom, color-stop(0.1, #FFFFFF), color-stop(0.99, #'+event.backgroundColor+'))')
.css('background-image','-moz-linear-gradient(top left, #FFFFFF 0%, #'+event.backgroundColor+' 100%)')
.css('background-image','-o-linear-gradient(top left, #FFFFFF 0%, #'+event.backgroundColor+' 100%)')

Now, isn't jQuery suppose to eliminate all the work related to cross-browser compatibility issues? is there any better way to do that. Without using any additional plugins?

Jquery will eliminate/reduce js related cross browser issues it won't fix your css cross browser problems. As for what i know jQuery wont fix this problem for you. — Michael

You could just define all of that in your stylesheet. Not sure why you are using jQuery, unless you need to do this dynamically or something. — Fareesh Vijayarangam

put all of these in a stylesheet under a class, then toggle the class with jquery. — helloandre

@SteveCostello If you use the shortcut syntax background, then if you change any of the background properties later, for example background-position, then you can also overwrite the gradient you set in background. The CSS Specifications suggest not using shorthand codes anymore. — Brandon McKinney

Nope. jQuery doesn't have a native implementation of vendor-prefixes. Not very surprising, too; jQuery is a JavaScript library, designed to make JavaScript cross-browser.

Check out CSS3 Finalize for a plugin.
