problem with malsup's rounded .corner() plugin and IE borders

hi

i have an element with a css styling with a border. im trying to round the corner for this element but this doesn't seem to work on IE8.

anyone know how to go around this issue or know if there is a fix for it? 

i think it works if i do that parent() thing but its not really an elegant solution for me. it'd be nice if the plugin author can chime on to this as well.

thanks.
