CSS3PIE is failing to function properly in Internet Explorer

Looking for a solution to achieve rounded corners in Internet Explorer? Consider using . In my CSS file named template.css, I have included the following code which is loaded when the page loads on Joomla 1.5.

.form_field {color:#222 !important; border:2px solid #333; background:#f4f4f4;-webkit-    border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px; color:#fff; padding:2px 0px 2px 0px; position:relative; z-index:99999;
behavior: url(./PIE.htc);

In the root of my website, you can find PIE.htc and PIE.php files.

Upon inspecting the 'view source' generated in IE 9 with rendering set to IE 8 mode, all necessary CSS files are being loaded properly except for the CSS behavior.

      <link rel="stylesheet" href="/sos/plugins/system/rokbox/themes/light/rokbox-style.css" type="text/css" />
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="/sos/components/com_gantry/css/gantry.css" type="text/css" />
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="/sos/components/com_gantry/css/grid-12.css" type="text/css" />
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="/sos/components/com_gantry/css/joomla.css" type="text/css" />
      ...

I've tried troubleshooting and even placed the behavior code in its own CSS file at the root level but still no success. It seems like either Joomla is interfering or there might be a conflicting issue.

To make it work with Joomla and CSS3PIE, create a new CSS file named PIE.CSS at the site root with the following content:

@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
.YOURCLASSNAME {border-radius: 5px !important; color:#fff !important; padding:2px 0px 2px 0px       !important; position:relative !important; z-index:99999 !important;
behavior: url(./PIE.php) !important;}

Add a link to PIE.CSS in your template's index.php file:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./PIE.css" />

Apply the class "YOURCLASSNAME" to the elements you wish to style, such as form fields in an article. This method should hopefully resolve the issue. :-)

Answer №1

Is the htc file being delivered with the accurate mimetype of text/x-component? Remember not to serve the file gzipped. Have you checked out this website for more information: ?

Answer №2

I encountered a frustrating issue that had me scratching my head for quite some time. It turned out that the root cause was an anomaly in how Internet Explorer interprets the behavior property. Unlike other URLs specified in CSS properties, IE treats the URL for the behavior property differently.

  • IE interprets the URL for the behavior property relative to the source HTML document, rather than relative to the CSS file like all other CSS properties. This unique behavior of IE can make invoking the PIE behavior cumbersome as the URL has to be either:

    • Absolute from the domain root - which makes moving the CSS between directories challenging - or,
    • Relative to the HTML document - making it difficult to reuse the CSS across different HTML files.

If your PIE files are located in the root directory, use the URL('/PIE.htc'). Additionally, I found success using the URL('/PIE.php') method, so if you utilize PHP, give that a try as well.
