nope! thats not helping:banghead:
Ok i'll try to explainn again...

Suppose i need a 2 color linear gradient with one end white (255,255,255, Opacity 100%) and the other end with same white but at a lower opaccity (255,255,255, Opacity 0%).

this is possible in Photoshop, but I cant figure out how to apply the same in Illustrator.

Look up Opacity Masks in the Illustrator help doc. It will tell you what you want to know.

Sorry, I thought you were just asking if it were possible... assumed you would check the inbuilt help about transparency / opacity.
