Not quite sure why you are using the data uri and not just an image? I guess an image would mean an extra call to the server for ie9 users, but to have all those extra characters sent to non-ie9 browsers seems wasteful. Solution is working for me as an image, would love the explanation.   Decoy Dec 21 '11 at 19:38

His manual data URI is what some CSS preprocessor normally do during deploy time. As of "but what kind of an ugly hack is that", that's a cardinal bullshit. SVG is image as any other, although a vector one. So calling SVG a hack, and proposing a PNG instead is absolute non-sense. Why is SVG better? Resolution independence, the same reason you use border-radius instead of rasterized image background.   skrat Mar 13 '12 at 11:11
  	  	
As far as SVG vs PNG, stretched PNGs will create banding artifacts, stretched SVG gradients will not.   Charles Kendrick May 15 '12 at 22:01
  	  	
Also, an SVG background can also be embedded as a "data:" URI, and Compass appears to have experimental support for generating SVG backgrounds along with other browser-specific CSS from a single gradient
  	  	
These are great points and thank you for opening my eyes to a particular use of SVG that I hadn't considered! I'll stick by my solution for most cases, esp. since it's easy to generate a larger gradient that's good enough for your specific scenario. But it's good to have your comments & I'll edit my answer. @skrat, the SVG proposed in another answer WAS an ugly hack. SVG in general is just fine.   Steve Eisner May 16 '12 at 22:26 By the way, is there any online documentation for tank auth? I couldn't find any. It's time consuming to refer to the source code every time I need a function's parameter.  Even though outdated, the information contained in that post is the best summary of what you should expect from your authentication mechanism. Thank you.Great answer really!!! It would be great if we have some updates with some new auth plugins like Ion Auth, Flexi Auth, Community Auth and A3M.  Could you please define to me in No9 what exactly do you mean by a simple example??   Lykos Ma
 y 22  Sure -- User data would be auth-specific data such as UserID, UserName, Email, PasswordHash, LastLoginTime, etc. Profile data should be stored in a separate DB table and could be anything, depending on the specific application. This could include things like birthday, gender, hometown, reputation score, etc. This way, the application developers can modify the ProfileData table in any way they like, without having to worry about the auth system suddenly breaking.  thanks for the reply! I'm trying to create a simple custom auth library (that uses a MY_Model for all crud)for some projects at my college, and i'm looking for some guidelines/simple auth libraries to get some ideas. Do you know any simple examples on that please or tutorials??   Lykos May 26 '13 at 12:25
