一种解决方案是使用背景位置来模拟梯度过渡。 几个月前，Twitter Bootstrap就使用了这个解决方案。

这里有一个简单的例子:

链接状态

 .btn {
  font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 12px;
  font-weight: 300;
  position: relative;
  display: inline-block;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #fff;
  padding: 20px 40px;
  background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #50abdf, #1f78aa);
  background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 100%, from(#50abdf), to(#1f78aa));
  background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #50abdf, #1f78aa);
  background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #50abdf, #1f78aa);
  background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #50abdf, #1f78aa);
  background-repeat: repeat-x;
  filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr='#ff50abdf', endColorstr='#ff1f78aa', GradientType=0);
  background-repeat: repeat-y;
  background-size: 100% 90px;
  background-position: 0 -30px;
  -webkit-transition: all 0.2s linear;
     -moz-transition: all 0.2s linear;
       -o-transition: all 0.2s linear;
          transition: all 0.2s linear;
}

悬停状态

.btn:hover {
   background-position: 0 0;
}

渐变过渡的部分解决方法是使用嵌入框阴影——你可以转换框阴影本身，也可以转换背景颜色——例如，如果你创建的嵌入框阴影与背景颜色相同，然后在背景颜色上使用过渡，它会产生一种错觉，即普通背景正在变为径向渐变

.button SPAN {
    padding: 10px 30px; 
    border: 1px solid ##009CC5;

    -moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 20px 1px #00a7d1;
    -webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 20px 1px#00a7d1;
    box-shadow: inset 0 0 20px 1px #00a7d1; 

    background-color: #00a7d1;
    -webkit-transition: background-color 0.5s linear;
    -moz-transition: background-color 0.5s linear;
    -o-transition: background-color 0.5s linear;
    transition: background-color 0.5s linear;
}

.button SPAN:hover {
    background-color: #00c5f7; 
}

在codepend上发现了一个很好的hack，可以修改不透明度属性，但通过利用伪元素实现从一个渐变到另一个渐变。他所做的就是设置:after，这样当你改变实际元素的不透明度时，:after元素就会显示出来，看起来就像渐变一样。我觉得分享一下会有用。

原始代码来源:http://codepen.io/sashtown/pen/DfdHh

.button { display: inline-block; margin-top: 10%; padding: 1em 2em; font-size: 2em; color: #fff; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 0.3em; position: relative; background-color: #ccc; background-image: linear-gradient(to top, #6d8aa0, #8ba2b4); -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden; z-index: 1; } .button:after { position: absolute; content: ''; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border-radius: 0.3em; background-image: linear-gradient(to top, #ca5f5e, #d68584); transition: opacity 0.5s ease-out; z-index: 2; opacity: 0; } .button:hover:after { opacity: 1; } .button span { position: relative; z-index: 3; } body { text-align: center; background: #ddd; } <a class="button" href="#"><span>BUTTON</span></a>

我知道这是一个老问题，但也许有人喜欢我在纯CSS解决方案的方式。从左到右渐变。

2021年:现在可以动画渐变了(Firefox和Safari还不行)

随着Chrome 85, Edge和Opera添加了对@property规则的支持，现在我们可以在CSS中这样做:

@property --myColor1 {
  syntax: '<color>';
  initial-value: magenta;
  inherits: false;
}

@property --myColor2 {
  syntax: '<color>';
  initial-value: green;
  inherits: false;
}

其余都是常规的CSS。 设置变量为初始渐变颜色，并设置这些变量的过渡:

div {
  /* Optional: change initial value of the variables */
  /* --myColor1: #f64; --myColor2: brown; */

  background: linear-gradient(var(--myColor1), var(--myColor2));
  transition: --myColor1 3s, --myColor2 3s;
}

然后，在所需的规则上，为变量设置新的值:

div:hover {  
  --myColor1: #f00;
  --myColor2: yellow;
}

@property——myColor1 { 语法:“< >颜色”; 初值:# 0 f0; 继承:错误; ｝ @property——myColor2 { 语法:“< >颜色”; 初始值:rgb(40,190,145); 继承:错误; ｝ div { 宽度:200 px; 身高:100 px; background: linear-gradient(var(——myColor1)， var(——myColor2)); ——myColor1 3s，——myColor2 3s; ｝ div:{徘徊 ——myColor1:红色; ——myColor2: # E1AF2F; ｝ <div>悬停在我上方</div>
