CSS3 Transition not working

Transition is more like an animation.

div.sicon a {
    background:-moz-radial-gradient(left, #ffffff 24%, #cba334 88%);
    transition: background 0.5s linear;
    -moz-transition: background 0.5s linear; /* Firefox 4 */
    -webkit-transition: background 0.5s linear; /* Safari and Chrome */
    -o-transition: background 0.5s linear; /* Opera */
    -ms-transition: background 0.5s linear; /* Explorer 10 */
}

So you need to invoke that animation with an action.

div.sicon a:hover {
    background:-moz-radial-gradient(left, #cba334 24%, #ffffff 88%);
}

Also check for browser support and if you still have some problem with whatever you’re trying to do! Check css-overrides in your stylesheet and also check out for behavior: ***.htc css hacks.. there may be something overriding your transition!
