Diagonal gradient in css

Question

Most of the gradients I\'ve seen are either vertical or horizontal. Is it possible to have a diagonal gradient using css? I would like to have a gradient that starts out dark in

background: -moz-linear-gradient(-45deg,  rgba(0,0,0,0.65) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
