Breadcrumb / steps in CSS that works from IE8 [CSS]

I was looking for a simple code for a step by step process indicator. I found a few things, but everyone seems to have forgotten about IE8… I need to support this old browser at work. So I did my own that I’m sharing here:

• File Uploaded
• →
• File Reviewed
• →
• File Approved

And the code:

<ul class="steps">
  <li class="step complete">File Uploaded</li>
  <li class="arrow">→</li>
  <li class="step current">File Reviewed</li>
  <li class="arrow">→</li>
  <li class="step">File Approved</li>
</ul>

<style>
body {
  counter-reset:steps
}
ul.steps {
  margin:0;
  padding:0;
}
ul.steps li.step {
  background: none repeat scroll 0 0 lightgray;
  border-radius: 1em;
  color: white;
  display: inline-block;
  font-size: 14px;
  height: 4em;
  line-height: 4em;
  margin: 0 1em;
  position: relative;
  text-align: center;
  width: 9em;
}
ul.steps li.step:before {
  content: counter(steps, decimal) ". ";
  counter-increment: steps;
}
ul.steps li.step.complete:before {
  content: "✔ ";
}
ul.steps li.step.complete {
  background-color: green;
}
ul.steps li.step.current {
  background-color:dodgerblue
}
ul.steps li.arrow {
  background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
  color: black;
  display: inline-block;
  font-size: 28px;
  height: 46px;
  line-height: normal;
  margin: 0;
  width: auto;
}
</style>
