Web programmers are a diverse group of people, meaning that the way one thinks is entirely different from another. We all have our styles, our practices, our points of view, so no two programmers are the same. However, go talk to any programmer, even 100 of them, and they will all agree on one thing: IE needs to die. With all the new technologies being discovered and created, all of the new browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera) have been really good about keeping the fire under their feet and keeping up with the game, but IE is the world's worst about trending. For instance, say you wanted to add a border radius, gradient color, and a box-shadow to a box:
If you are currently in any of the newer browsers, you can see that the right box is rendering perfectly. Sadly, for those using IE, these boxes look exactly the same. This is because IE is waaaay behind when it comes to CSS3, especially for those still running anything below IE9, which is over half the market. Well for us programmers, who tend to want it to be equal all the way across the board, I give you this:
CSS3PIE. CSS3PIE is a script file that is saved as an htc, that gives the ability for IE8 and older to understand CSS3.
