<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Test CSS3 Properties in IE</title>
<style>
body{
margin-top:100px;
}
a.test{
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
width: 200px;
}
a:hover.test{
border: 1px solid #696;
-webkit-border-radius: 8px;
-moz-border-radius: 8px;
border-radius: 8px;
-webkit-box-shadow: #666 0px 2px 3px;

box-shadow: #666 0px 2px 3px;
background: #EEFF99;

background: -moz-linear-gradient(#EEFF99, #66EE33);

behavior: url(PIE.htc);
}
</style>
