title: How to not repeat a CSS background gradient
body: <p>I'm working in a wordpress web, and I have a problem with the background gradient that I have made.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is after the end of the footer, the gradient start again. I don't know how to solve this.</p>
  
  <p>The css code that I do is the next:</p>
  
  <pre><code>body {
              background: #FFFFFF; /* old browsers */
          /* IE9 SVG, needs conditional override of 'filter' to 'none' */
  background: url(data:image/svg+xml;base64,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);

  background: linear-gradient(to bottom,  rgba(51,102,153,1) 0%,rgba(51,102,153,0) 50%); /* W3C */
  filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#336699', endColorstr='#00336699',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-8 */
  
  }
