How to make a radial gradient with transparency in css

I want to make a radial gradient where the transparency changes, I can get it to work linearly but not radially

background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom,from(rgba(50,50,50,0.8)), to(rgba(80,80,80,0.2)));

This code works linearly but when changed to

background: -webkit-gradient(radial, from(rgba(50,50,50,0.8)), to(rgba(80,80,80,0.2)));

stops working

What do I need to do to change this, all the help so far only shows linear gradients

Your syntax for radial-gradient is wrong.

You would need to write something like this: background-image: radial-gradient(ellipse farthest-corner at 45px 45px, rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.8) 0%, rgba(80, 80, 80, 0.2) );

Check the MDN docs for more detail.
