Before You Start

Before you can use VML within MSIE, there are two lines of code which must be added to your web page. First, the normal <HTML> tag should be replaced with the following: 

    <html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">

Also, the following line must be placed in the <HEAD> section of the web page: 

    <style> v\:* { behavior: url(#default#VML); }</style >

These two tags enable MSIE to recognize and render VML tags, such as the simple rectangle VML tags we've seen so far. With these two lines entered, the core HTML code will look like: 

    <html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">
    <head>
    <style> v\:* { behavior: url(#default#VML); }</style >
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>

CSS - Style

As discussed above VML elements utilize the CSS2 (Cascading Style Sheets, Level 2) style property to modify VML shapes.
