Unfortunatly a lot of image editing programs won't let you use 1 pixel, but the least is best.

like teammatt3 said ... this isn't done in code, it is done with a graphic as a background.

What you need to do is create a strip (depending on horizontal or vertical) being very large in the direction you want (I use something in range of 1500x10). Then you use that strip in your background and let it tile thus creating the effect. I would use CSS to do this because if you end up with a user with an enormous screen res. then they will see the image stop (like in my example, might go two far down thus the image stops after 1500), so you solve this by declaring a default color background to the last color in your gradient so it just looks like it fades out to that final color. I'm not sure if I did the best job explaining this so if you have any more questions let me know. I'm guessing you are looking for something similar to this (functionally) http://www.cis.ksu.edu/~ryand/portfolio/

yeah look for a gradient bg image strip and put it in your background command in html...

It can't be done in html, only in an image editor.
