Thanks to you all .. The answer is (to top, color1, color2 90%);

The syntax is: "background: linear-gradient(direction, color-stop1, color-stop2, ...);" I think your 90deg in the middle of the colors could make some trouble ... 90deg is a direction. You can start (90deg, color1, color2)

Hope you understand my rusty english ...

Ok, we shouldn't post the solutions in the forum, so i try it again with a hint.

You are on a good way, the syntax should look like this:

background-image: linear-gradient (direction, color1 | stop1, color2 | stop2);
