hi criselda,

You can't apply a gradient to a stroke.
First you must select your stroke, outline your stroke so it becomes a path. Then you can apply a gradient to it

hope this helps

To outline a stroke so you can create a gradient, you must select it, then go to Object > Expand...

Make sure "Stroke" is selected, and click OK. If the original path had a fill, other than none, it will still be there, but as a separate shape grouped to the outlined stroke. You may need to ungroup it if you want to treat it differently.
