Can anyone help me with a issue I'm having in Webflow where a button border is appearing at the ends of a gradient even when it's set to transparent?

If you are experiencing issues with a button border appearing at the ends of a gradient in Webflow, follow these steps to troubleshoot and fix the problem:

  1. Check the gradient settings: Ensure that the button's gradient is set to transparent at the ends. Double-check the color stops and make sure that the opacity is set to 0% or transparent for the colors at the ends of the gradient. Sometimes, a small percentage of opacity might still be present, causing the border to appear.

  2. Adjust the gradient stops: If the gradient stops are set too close to each other, it can create a visual effect that looks like a border. Expand the gradient range by dragging the gradient stops farther apart, ensuring that there is enough distance between them to prevent any border-like appearance.

  3. Disable default button styling: Webflow provides default styles for buttons, including borders. If you have not customized the button style, it is possible that the border you are seeing is part of the default styling. To rectify this, remove the default button styling by selecting the button element and clearing any predefined border settings. After doing this, you can add your custom border styles as desired.

  4. Check the parent element styles: Sometimes, the border might be coming from a parent element rather than the button itself. Inspect the parent element styles, such as container divs or sections, to see if any border settings are affecting the button.

  5. Test in different browsers: Cross-browser compatibility can play a role in how gradients are rendered. Test your website in different browsers to see if the issue persists. If the problem only occurs in a specific browser, it could be due to a browser rendering bug.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, reach out to Webflow support for further assistance. They can provide more targeted guidance based on the specific details of your project.
