Can you try:

  background-color: #f8f8f8;
  background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#f8f8f8), to(#f1f1f1)); /* Saf4+, Chrome */
  background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #f8f8f8, #f1f1f1); /* Chrome 10+, Saf5.1+ */
  background-image:    -moz-linear-gradient(top, #f8f8f8, #f1f1f1); /* FF3.6 */
  background-image:     -ms-linear-gradient(top, #f8f8f8, #f1f1f1); /* IE10 */
  background-image:      -o-linear-gradient(top, #f8f8f8, #f1f1f1); /* Opera 11.10+ */
  background-image:         linear-gradient(top, #f8f8f8, #f1f1f1);
            filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorStr='#f8f8f8', EndColorStr='#f1f1f1'); /* IE6–IE9 */
