Stripey sky

Question

I feel so stupid right now, why can't I make a simple vertical linear gradient without stripes?

Answer 1

Just add width and height in CSS.
like this:

body{
background-image: linear-gradient(blue, teal);
width:100%;
height:600px;
}

Answer 2

Thank you! But why does it require a limited area? None of the other directions does that so why should the default one? 😅
