Sorry for the noob question, but after putting the ecsstender js files
in page, border-radius doesn't seem to work (at all). I see in
Firebug that ecsstender is requesting my stylesheets with XHR, but
after that, nothing happens.

Is there some reason why this wouldn't work on localhost? Obviously,
I'm doing all the development locally. I would love to leverage this
library in order to avoid forking css, but so far it doesn't look good
for adoption.

Or maybe do reset.css stylesheets break it? I'm using the one from
http://html5doctor.com/html-5-reset-stylesheet/

Thanks for your help.

It should work on localhost (it does for me). We're seeing some
oddities in some versions of Firefox, but they're completely
intermittent. Can you run visit test.ecsstender.org a few times in
your version of Firefox and see if it always comes back with 40 tests
passed? Some times it seems to stall part way through... we're working
on it.

Hi Aaron,

The tests seem to pass OK.

It's also worth noting that I got JS errors in IE 8 simply when trying
to load eCSStender.js -- I would tell you the line number, but it's
minified and so it wouldn't make much sense.

Hmm... could you try switching to the non-minified version to see what
the error line is? Note: IE has some Ajax protections that prevent it
from accessing local filesystem files when scripts are run locally
(i.e. not through a server). I don't know if that's the issue, but I
thought I'd mention it.

I can confirm that everything is working as expected on localhost
(Zend Server CE, Apache) with both uncompressed and minified versions.
I tested it in 5 browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera & IE 8). The
first four browsers support border-radius and IE 8 doesn't (as one
should expect from Microsoft!).

May be the OP should try clearing browser cache or download a fresh
version and try again.
