Radial CSS gradient with width constraints?
Question
Here is the button gradient I'm trying to build with just CSS gradients:
This would typically be pretty easy to do, but as you can see, the gradient at the top looks more like a large clipped radial gradient since it dips down in the middle a bit and doesn't extend all the way to the edges.
So, any ideas how to pull this off with CSS?

In css the radial background center cannot lie outside it's container, but you can offset the radial background through positioning a child element with the gradient. Basically you are looking to do something like this:
which is close to simshaun's excellent solution. But, since I love challenges I wanted to try something with zero extra markup, I came up with this:
Which comes pretty close to your to your solution with zero extra markup. It's just a linear gradient with an inset shadow that attenuates the left and rightmost edges of the button.

This would definitely take some tweaking to make it look right in different browsers (which I haven't really done):
.upgrade {
background: #FF3397;
color: #FFF;
float: left;
height: 30px;
line-height: 30px;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
width: 160px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 3px #999;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 3px #999;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 3px #999;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
text-shadow: 1px -1px 3px #E60071;
filter: dropshadow(color=#666, offx=2, offy=-2);
font-family: Verdana, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
}
.upgrade span {
background-image: -moz-radial-gradient(50% 50% 90deg,ellipse contain, #FFFFFF, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0));
background-image: -webkit-gradient(radial, 50% -50%, 51, 50% 0, 110, from(#FFFFFF), to(rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)));
display: block;
height: 100px;
left: -50px;
position: absolute;
top: -70px;
width: 260px;
z-index: 1;
}
.upgrade div {
z-index 2;
}
<div class="upgrade"><span></span><div>Upgrade for more</div></div>solution3

Not a full answer, but this may be useful.
http://css-tricks.com/css3-gradients/
Chris has an example here:
http://css-tricks.com/examples/CSS3Gradient/
with a radial gradient. This is using CSS3 and the browser specific implementations which may not be supported on older browsers.
Otherwise, I don't know of a way to pull this off without the use of images.
Hope this helps.

Just for kicks I threw this together, but who knows what it would do outside of chrome. I've never played with radial gradients before, but this was fun - I thought maybe my (Horrible) css could shed some light on your project.
CSS:
#button {
display: table;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
margin: 50px auto;
padding: 10px;
background:
-webkit-gradient(radial, 50% -200%, 180, 50% -110%, 35, from(#f81499), to(#fff), color-stop(.7,#f81499));
color: #fff;
text-shadow: 0px -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.25);
font-family: "droid sans", sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.25);
}
HTML:
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<link type="text/css" href="test.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="button">Upgrade for more</div>
</body>
</html>
