Solution 1

The behavior location should be relative to your HTML file, not your CSS like any other declaration using url(). So assuming your index.html and PIE.htc is in root and your CSS is inside a 'css' folder, you should go like this:

background-image: url(../images/example.jpg);
behavior: url(PIE.htc);

Also, try adding a .htaccess file with the following content in the same location as the PIE.htc file:

AddType text/x-component .htc

Hope this helps.

Solution 2

Try adding

position:relative;
z-index: 0;

This question is similar to the one posted here: CSS3 PIE - Giving IE border-radius support not working?

CSS3 PIE - Giving IE border-radius support not working?

The PIE.htc requests should respond with the mime type "text/x-component" - or IE won't touch the behaviour.

Solution 4

adding: AddType text/x-component .htc - to the .htaccess file worked like a charm for me.

The shorthand CSS property let's you control what corners to round or not.

border-radius: 0 15px 15px 0;/*(top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left). */

Solution 5

Try to clear cache in your browser. Especialy when you switch between compatibility modes. It really helps

Im trying to demo CSS3PIE and it wont work in IE at all.

HTML:

 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
  <head>
  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1250">
  <link href="test.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
  <title>Test</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <div id="title"></div>
    <div id="sub_title"></div>
    <div id="main_area">
      <div id="date_area"></div>
    </div>

  </body>
</html>

css:

body{
 margin: 0 auto;
}

#title{
 margin: 0 auto;
 width: 100%;
 height: 40px;
 background-color: white;
}

#sub_title{
  margin: 0 auto;
  width: 100%;
  height: 25px;
  background-color: green;
}

#date_area{
  width: 310px;
  height: 250px;
  border: 1px solid #4A4949;
  padding: 60px 0;
  text-align: center; 
  -webkit-border-radius: 1px;
  -moz-border-radius: 1px;
  border-radius: 1px;
  -webkit-box-shadow: #707070 2px 2px 4px;
  -moz-box-shadow: #707070 2px 2px 4px;
  box-shadow: #707070 2px 2px 4px;
  background: #EBEBEB;
  background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 bottom, from(#EDEBEB), to(#C9C7C8));
  background: -moz-linear-gradient(#EDEBEB, #C9C7C8);
  background: linear-gradient(#EDEBEB, #C9C7C8);
  -pie-background: linear-gradient(#EDEBEB, #C9C7C8);
  behavior: url(/PIE.htc);  
}

The result is just a block with a border, no gradient/shadow etc

Any help/solution would be much appreciated.

for me, adding z-index:0 removed the text inside the element. however, adding just position:relative really helped

That fixed it in IE10 for IE8 compatibility mode, but not in the real IE8...any ideas?

@DrCord wow, didn't knew that... Not sure of that since i'm currently not relying on CSS3PIE anymore. I'm supporting IE8+ and i code a solid layout structure; regarding "fancy visual effects": what works on IE, works on IE, and what doesn't, no big deal, design looks good anyways.
