CSS3-Enable Internet Explorer With PIE
13
Jul
PIE (Progressive Internet Explorer) is an IE attached behavior (.htc file) that enables Internet Explorer 6-8 to recognize and display a number of CSS3 properties.
There is almost no difference in coding for the CSS properties. It doesn't require any vendor prefixes (like border-radius rather than -moz-border-radius).
It is simply attached to an element in the CSS file like: behavior: url(PIE.htc); and adds support (full or partial) for the following CSS3 features:
- border-radius
- box-shadow
- border-image
- multiple background images
- linear-gradient as background image
And, the missing CSS3 properties are under development.
Compatibility: Internet Explorer 6-8

this trick doesn’t support border-top-right(top-left…etc)-radius
This has to be the most exciting post I have seen in weeks. I was able to implement this on a site of mine within an hour.
I had basically decided that those still on Internet Explorer could deal with a less that nice looking site because it lacked the css3 I was using but with this they get a completely identical site and I didn’t need any super crazy browser hacks or loads of javascript.
This looks IMPRESSIVE
Going to try it out asap!
great!!
I was looking for something like this..
thx a lot
That’s so cool
I decided to use some of these properties in a project that I’m working on and this definitely will help
Thanks soo much
@Venelin
use shorthand
border-radius: TRBL;
is it any different than ie-css3?

@kiwus
It looks like ie-css3 is mostly focused on enabling CSS3 selectors, while PIE is focused on enabling (a useful subset of) CSS3 properties.
Useful information, using CCS3 in Firefox is good, but the obvious problem for a designer/developer is that the majority of people use Internet Explorer. Hopefully the new Internet Explorer 9 will support CSS3 like they are claiming it will. Looking forward to trying out CSS3 in my next developments.
