If you’re a front-end developer, you’ve probably been waiting with misty eyes for that far-off day when CSS3 is roundly supported. I’ll bet you didn’t expect it to be today.
CSS3 PIE (Progressive Internet Explorer) is an open source script that gives IE6-IE8 the ability to render the best parts of CSS3. Drop behavior: url(PIE.htc) into a group of styles and a metric ton of CSS3 properties suddenly work:
border-radiusbox-shadowmultiple backgroundsrgba- yeah, there’s more…
Jason was kind enough to let me beta-test PIE. I’ve used it in several projects now, and my first-blush reaction is this is way too good to be true. It’s light, fast, easier to implement than a PNGfix, and it just works with standard CSS properties. It’s now a standard part of my development toolkit.
