Border-radius + native support gradients in IE7, IE8?

Now make a website which you want to implement dynamic tuning of the design in the admin all sorts of ColorPicker etc. the Design uses rounded corners and gradients. I implemented the whole thing using CCS3 and PIE.htc for IE, but for older versions of Firefox and Opera just uses the default skin built in the pictures. And here I client posted a new ticket — say, when the page is loaded (IE) initially shows the default skin (1-2 seconds) and then loads the current skin.

I have 2 options how to deal with it:

1. Bad. Show Loading... overlay until the page you see

2. Good. Implement gradients, using filters, which are loaded from CSS


filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(GradientType=0, startColorstr='#000000',endColorstr='#ffffff');

-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(GradientType=0, startColorstr='#000000', endColorstr='#ffffff')";


BUT! PIE now refuses to round the corners. DD_roundies rounds but it kills the background. Help plz!


Here you can post a link to the project is the subject?
