Here's one way to modify the markup and get the text within the gradient area:

   <div id="box1" style="height:200px; width:200px;">
<div style="position:absolute; padding:10px; font-family:'trebuchet ms'; font-size:12px; color:white;">
       This is the text in my gradient box!
       </div>
</div>

This will certainly save a lot of time creating background images!

Thanks, weepy...

When you said it "creates graduated backgrounds" I assumed it
would respond like a true background image.  Perhaps that's not what
you intended.

Hey, I like gradientz very much!

Question... how do I make the gradient to be the background
for a div?

I created a div with a gradient and put the text inside the div, but the
text
appears outside the gradient, not over it...

    <script type="text/javascript">

        $(document).ready(function() {
          $('#box1').gradientz({
            start: "gray",
            end: "white",    angle: 0
              })
          });

     </script>

    <div id="box1" style="height:200px; width:200px; padding:10px;
color:white;">
        This is the text in my gradient box!</div>

For those of you that have seen Cornerz - it works in a very similar
way.
