if someone needs this and if you think the jQuery plugin is too heavy you can use this
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#00A622', endColorstr='#00B726'); /* for IE */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#00A622), to(#00B726));
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #00A622, #00B726);
