    Well Rizwan, First of All the site you are using http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/#validate_by_input is not supporting CSS3 completely.

    From: About the CSS Validator

    So, this is the authority on what is correct CSS and what isn’t?

    No. It is a helpful and reliable tool, but a software tool, and like
    every software, it has some bugs and issues. The actual reference on
    Cascading Style Sheets are the CSS Specifications.

    By default, this validator checks style sheets against the grammar,
    properties and values defined in the CSS 2.1 specification, but other
    CSS profiles can be checked against by using the options.

    If you look into bugs and issues you will find a bug for: linear-gradient as a background-image, it does not recognize linear-gradient.

    -webkit-gradient is browser specific and w3.org validator will not recognize it.

    Final advice, don’t rely too much on validators, they may help you spotting an error but they are not 100% correct. For CSS3 its better if you test these properties in browser and see if they are working.
