CSS3 PIE

Lately, I’ve been working on getting nice CSS3 features like rounded boxes, box shadows, and gradients into my HTML without using any images. This resulted in really fast loading websites because very few images were used. However, Internet Explorer (IE) 6, 7, 8 doesn’t support CSS3 at all, which really makes my life difficult when I need to support multiple browsers.

Never fear! CSS3 Progressive Internet Explorer (PIE) is an IE attached behavior which, when applied to an element, allows IE to recognize and display a number of CSS3 properties. That’s just amazing, and saved me lots of time trying to support IE.
