here is the code for the css:

#main div:not(.container) {
overflow: hidden;
top: 50px;
border: 40px solid transparent;
behavior: url("../CSS3PIE/PIE.htc");
border-image: url("../mypics/g9/g9divborder.png") 80; }

and here is the URL:
http://www.webified.biz/gallerytemps/gallery9.php

I also tried making the file path without the "../" as well as adding one too "../../" so I know one of those three options should work based on my file directory.
it works fine in Chrome, but not in IE9.. what am I doing wrong?

I can't test this in IE9 at the moment, but keep in mind that PIE will resolve relative image paths relative to the HTML document, not the CSS file.
