CSS gradient to create a dotted line
I needed to print the content of textearea (user input) and I just used a css gradient to create lines below the text. The following css did the trick.
.linedText {
color: #000000;
line-height: 24px;
background-color: #ffffff;
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 2% 2%, 2% 100%, from(#000000), color-stop(1%, #ffffff)) 0 -2px;
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #000000 0%, #ffffff 1%) 0 -1px;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #000000 0%, #ffffff 1%) 0 -1px;
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #000000 0%, #ffffff 1%) 0 -1px;
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #000000 0%, #ffffff 1%) 0 -1px;
background: linear-gradient(top, #000000 0%, #ffffff 1%) 0 -1px;
-webkit-background-size: 100% 24px;
-moz-background-size: 100% 24px;
-ms-background-size: 100% 24px;
-o-background-size: 100% 24px;
background-size: 100% 24px;
}
<p class="linedText">fdfdfdfdfdfdf<br>dfdfd<br>fdf<br>df</p>
And it is generated like this:
Now I need to change the style to point. Can anyone do this for me please? I've tried this sometimes but no luck so thought about SO for a quick answer.
Thank.

This is an example of how you can achieve what you are trying.
It's just a matter of using two linear gradients with rgba = transparency colors and matching them to create a repeating pattern.
It is not a cross browser (web kit only). Just a snippet to get you started.
background-image:
-webkit-linear-gradient(right, rgba(255,255,255,1) 0%, rgba(255,255,255,1) 50%, rgba(255,255,255,0) 51%,rgba(255,255,255,0) 100%),
-webkit-linear-gradient(bottom, rgba(128,128,128,1) 0%, rgba(128,128,128,0) 8%, rgba(128,128,128,0) 100%);
background-size: 12px 24px;
