I can't get css3pie to work within a .less (lesscss) file - css3pie works perfectly when I use a .css file.

I'm working off of a local MAMP stack and have updated mime.type to recognize .htc files. Problem exists in both ie7 and ie8, tested in vmware fusion (vml appears to be working).

It appears I'm not alone with this concern (see http://css-tricks.com/forums/discussion ... less.js/p1), but it also looks like others have successfully integrated the two. Any tips?

HTML and LESSCSS code here:

.less code is basically straight css just to see if I can get 'behavior' call to stick.

Can anyone offer suggestions as to a fix?

In case it helps anyone with a similar problem - I've decided to rely on the .css file generated by less.app (I'm on a mac) and won't call less.js in my HTML. I wouldn't be using less.js on the production server anyway, so it comes to the same.

Even though you've moved away from less.js, I'm curious if you were calling the behavior with a relative path like url(path/to/PIE.htc) -- there may be a bug in less.js where it rewrites all relative URLs as if they were relative to the CSS file, but since behaviors are relative to the HTML file that breaks. If you use an absolute URL like url(/path/from/root/to/PIE.htc) I wonder if it would work.

(Similar libraries such as Selectivizr and Prefixfree have had to fix this issue in the past as well, so I wouldn't be surprised.)

I have noticed that LESS Alters the URL path to the PIE.htc to keep it in relation to the css file rather than the html as is usually the case when referencing it, keep this in mind and it fixes the problem letting you use both together.
