    I'm having problems with internet explorer, my site was originally coded with rounded corners but for some reason with internet explorer the corners don't come out rounded.

    Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

    With every other browser the site load with the rounded corners just fine.

    it works with chromes, Firefox, Opera and etc..


    I would be very interested on your tips on how to fix this.

    Here are some screenshots.

    This is the website in Google Chrome

    From a quick glance i'm guessing rounded corners not being rounded in IE are due to transparent PNG support. However, take a look at your site in IE6. Rounded corners are least of your worries.

    Having such problems with IE is not unusual and it is expected. Notice how modern browsers have no problems. IE is NOT a modern browser. But being given a picture of your problem is no different than us giving you a picture of the fix. Without a link, or the complete markup, anything we say is just a wild guess.

    IE6 is not a modern Browser. IE6 not support for rounded corner CSS code. However, you can use rounded image as background. It's need a little trick in CSS code.

    you can try this for IE 6 transparency fix. you have all the instructions here
    http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/demo/
    Code (markup):
    download the files here
    http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/iepngfix.zip
    Code (markup):
    I suggest using Conditional Comments to insert the .js. Good luck!

    Or a better solution would be to edit your background and make the corners the same color as your background!

    Code (markup):
    Use css sprites and use background-position for rollover (hover)

    IE has a hard time to see transparency in PNG files sometimes. I usually put a lightbox that tells ppl to use Chrome or Firefox on my websites

    Like I said somewhere else: if your site looks great in Firefox, it will look great everywhere. At least, it has been true for me.

    A couple of days ago we thought we would ask you if you were experiencing problems with the recently released Internet Explorer 9 beta, on the whole it seems as if IE9 is a step in the right direction, however there do

    I have recently had various problems with using the Internet Explorer and Firefox, but especially IE. At first I kept getting the message about my host process not working. A friend suggested trying some of the registry

    You can either code a site for IE users, or a site for the rest of the web. There is no middle ground, the closest thing to it would be to use a second CSS sheet exclusively for IE users. There are ways to make your CSS degrade gracefully, however it won't work for every effect and takes a lot of extra time.

    In your case, IE8 and below doesn't support the border-radius style. There are .png transparency hacks that you can combine with using images placed in the corners, but it defeats the advantages of using CSS opposed to images in the first place (faster loading).

    The web development industry is a complete catch 22 :p

    IE has had this problem for years LexisHost, your not the first one to encounter the problem, or the last that will, When they were the only Browser it was fine , code for one and POW, but now a-days IE is so far behind and away from the pack that people have to code them separately. If you do a quick Google search for "css IE coding" and click the 1st link, it will explain how you can best approach this situation... Sorry About your Luck though.. i for one am hoping IE9 Fixes this stupid issues :/

    Thanks, I do hope that the next IE fixes the problems once and for all too, and I am not a coder I paid to get my website coded, I really don't know how to code anything.

    I'm much more of a designer, and this issue is really making me mad my website works just fine with every other browser IE is pretty much the only one to have issue displaying my website, and the problem is that every one uses EI too it comes with every Windows Desktop.
