CSS3 PIE

CSS3 PIE is an HTC file that allows you to use standard CSS3 (plus vendor prefixes) to get features such as linear background gradients, rounded corners and drop-shadows in all browsers. HTC files are applied using a behavior in your CSS, which is IE-only, and does not validate.

#example1 {
	-moz-border-radius: 15px; /* Firefox */
	-webkit-border-radius: 15px; /* Safari, Chrome */
	border-radius: 15px; /* Opera, IE9+, W3C */
	/* fix bg bleed: http://tumble.sneak.co.nz/post/928998513/fixing-the-background-bleed */
	-moz-background-clip: padding;
	-webkit-background-clip: padding-box;
	background-clip: padding-box;
}
html.lte8 #example1 {
	behavior: url('../../wp-content/themes/practicalcss3/css3-pie.htc'); /* IE6-8 */
	zoom: 1; /* 'hasLayout' required for HTC method */
}

We can create a cool looking button:

#example2 a {
	background: #e07;
	border: 2px solid #000;
	color: #000;
	display: inline;
	padding: 2px 8px;
	-moz-border-radius: 15px; /* Firefox */
	-webkit-border-radius: 15px; /* Safari, Chrome */
	border-radius: 15px; /* Opera, IE9+, W3C */
	/* fix bg bleed: http://tumble.sneak.co.nz/post/928998513/fixing-the-background-bleed */
	-moz-background-clip: padding;
	-webkit-background-clip: padding-box;
	background-clip: padding-box;
}
#example2 a:hover {
	color: #fff;
}
html.lte8 #example2 a {
	behavior: url('../../wp-content/themes/practicalcss3/css3-pie.htc'); /* IE6-8 */
	zoom: 1; /* 'hasLayout' required for HTC method */
}

Or even a sticker:

#example3 a {
	background: #e07;
	border: 2px solid #000;
	color: #000;
	display: block;
	width: 58px;
	line-height: 58px;
	text-align: center;
	vertical-align: middle;
	-moz-border-radius: 30px; /* Firefox */
	-webkit-border-radius: 30px; /* Safari, Chrome */
	border-radius: 30px; /* Opera, IE9+, W3C */
	/* fix bg bleed: http://tumble.sneak.co.nz/post/928998513/fixing-the-background-bleed */
	-moz-background-clip: padding;
	-webkit-background-clip: padding-box;
	background-clip: padding-box;
}
#example3 a:hover {
	color: #fff;
}
html.lte8 #example3 a {
	behavior: url('../../wp-content/themes/dark_and_stormy/css3-pie.htc'); /* IE6-8 */
	zoom: 1; /* 'hasLayout' required for HTC method */
}
