I’m using MAMP on OS X and native IE7 for testing on Parallels. I’m developing an intranet website that will run on a local server. The browser all the employees have installed is IE7, so I need to use Css3Pie for some stuff, like rounded corners and shadows.

I have tried all the following:

  • behavior: url(PIE.htc); (relative to the html file and added the mime in .htaccess)
  • behavior: url(absoluteurl/PIE.php);

Neither method is working for me. I have tried all the possible combinations, but it doesn’t work. Do you know if there are any issues testing/running it on a localhost?

    There shouldn’t be any problem with using it on localhost. It’s possible Parallels is getting in the way somehow, but I doubt it. Most likely it’s due to incorrect installation. Even though I’ve installed PIE several times, it always takes some troubleshooting to get it running.

    Some debugging tips:

    • Try calling the the pie url from firefox or chrome and check the network traffic with developer tools/firebug.
    • Confirm you’re not getting a 404.
    • Confirm the server is returning the file with the correct content-type header.
    • I’ve heard others recommending using Fiddler for the above steps — not sure if that will work with your Parallels setup.
