IE Redirect Method - html

Use Different HTML for IE
I have developed a CSS Grid Site that works with all browsers except IE and have tried Autoprefixer which made improvements but did not fix all problems, some of which may not be Grid related. I am looking for recommendations to redirect ALL IE browsers to a completely different HTML file and would appreciate recommendations to do so. I already have separate HTML and CSS files that work with IE. Thanks for any suggestions.

I found this on another post and it seems to work well:
<<!-- For IE <= 9 -->
<!--[if IE]>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.location = "https://google.com";
</script>
<![endif]-->
<!-- For IE > 9 -->
<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.navigator.msPointerEnabled) {
window.location = "http://bobabend.com/index-old-as-of-3-7-2019.html";
}
</script>

I can use footer tag from HTML5 in IE8

I found something strange in my website... I'm using HTML5 and this script to use in olders browsers.
<script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
When I use <article>,<section> it works but when I use <footer> it doesn't.
I don't know the reason.
The others tags have the open tag and close tag.... This is the html code
Header:
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<script src="http://css3-mediaqueries-js.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/css3-mediaqueries.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
activaMapa = 0;
</script>
<![endif]-->
Footer Code
<footer class="pie">
<p>Web Site</p>
</footer>
Thanks for all the responses!
I found the problem...I'm looking my settings in IE and I've the scripting disabled... I activated and works!
Thanks for all!
Please change html5shim to html5shiv
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
Hope this may work
Older browsers doesn't support HTML5 tags. For this, you can use libraries like Modernizr or html5shim.
These libraries will provide support for older browsers bearing the HTML5 tags.
A good way to see if a tag is supported or not is by using CanIUse.com, and in this case, no, <footer> is not supported in ie8.
Instead, try using
<div id="footer"></div>
and for your css instead of
footer {
...
}
use
#footer {
...
}

I won't recommend css3pie, it causes several side effects.
For the styling issue with html5 elements, you're correctly using a shim/shiv (like html5shiv), so you don't need the document.createElement part. That will solve most of the issues.
Instead of creating custom CSS stylesheets for IE, i would switch to conditional comments, so that you can add specific ie rules in the main CSS:
.ie #specificdiv { /* custom rule for ie */ }
When your project gets bigger you won't have to browse all the different sheets.
Then ie9.js, that's for css selectors (like :not) which weren't supported in older IE versions.
You've css3 properties left. For these, i'm afraid you'll have to search for fallbacks/polyfills one by one. Here are some beutiful resources to start with:

Magento: Cleaning up my themes, removing blank.html

I'm justing sorting and optimizing my Magento 1.5.1.0 theme and I'm asking myself, for what purpose this code snippet is and whether I can safely remove it.
Talking about this one:
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var BLANK_URL = '<?php echo $this->helper('core/js')->getJsUrl('blank.html') ?>';
var BLANK_IMG = '<?php echo $this->helper('core/js')->getJsUrl('spacer.gif') ?>';
//]]>
</script>
<![endif]-->
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
BLANK_URL is part of a IE6 fix, to make the browser show iframe backgrounds transparently, when being hovered.
BLANK_IMG is part of another IE6 fix, to make the browser show PNG images correctly, when used as background images.
Whether you can remove them, solely depends on which browsers you want to support.
If you want to remove them, be aware though, that you also should remove the proper .js includes, iehover-fix.js for BLANK_URL and/or ds-sleight.js for BLANK_IMG, too.
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://example.com/js/lib/ds-sleight.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://example.com/js/varien/iehover-fix.js"></script>

Not serving a CSS to IE7 & IE8

Is there an easy way to serve a whole stylesheet to every modern Browser but IE7 and IE8? Some kind of inverted conditional comments?
The following should work per Microsoft's documentation:
<!--[if !((IE 7)|(IE 8))]><!--><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie.css" /><!--<![endif]-->
I don't know much about web coding... but this looks like what you are looking for.
Check out this site.
If you are simply trying to exclude browsers older than IE9, it is simpler to use
<!--[if gte IE 9]>
<link ...
<![end if]-->
Otherwise, you will need to use other operators to fit a specific subset, as others have already provided.
The MSDN docs are very useful here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512(v=vs.85).aspx
Note that you can use "!" to denote "not". So you could use something like this:
<!-- [if !(IE 7) & !(IE 8)]>
<link href="modern.css" />
<![endif]-->
Pretty straight forward.
Updated
Since IE's quirky conditionals don't get respected in other browsers. You could easily add jQuery to the page and do something like this:
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<!-- add jquery first for browser sniffing -->
<script>
// if broswer is IE and less than version 9 write out the nice CSS
if($.browser.msie && parseInt($.browser.version) < 9){
document.write("<link href='modern.css'/>");
}
</script>

Hiding some HTML from IE6?

I've tried:
<!--[if lt IE 6.0]>
HTML TO HIDE FROM IE6
<![endif]-->
but unfortunately the stuff gets hidden from firefox too. Anyone have methods that work? I want the stuff to be hidden from only IE6
Thanks
You can actually use conditional comments to hide things from Internet Explorer contrary to the answer from deceze. These types of conditional comments are called 'Downlevel Reveal Conditional Comments'. (These are different from comments used to show things to internet explorer which are more common, those are known as 'Downlevel hidden conditional comments')
<!--[if lte IE 6]><![if gte IE 7]><![endif]-->
<!-- This is a bit mad, but code inside here is served to everything
except browsers less than IE7, so all browsers will see this -->
<!--[if lte IE 6]><![endif]><![endif]-->
However if you already using a downlevel hidden conditional comment to show a IE6 stylesheet just to IE6 then you might be best off just hiding it with CSS.
I hope this helps.
Little confused with your question but Here is the javascript code to detect the version of Internet Explorer. Taken from Detecting Internet Explorer More Effectively. Add the HTML contents which are to be hidden from IE6 in a div and hide it using the function below.
function getInternetExplorerVersion()
// Returns the version of Internet Explorer or a -1
// (indicating the use of another browser).
{
var rv = -1; // Return value assumes failure.
if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer')
{
var ua = navigator.userAgent;
var re = new RegExp("MSIE ([0-9]{1,}[\.0-9]{0,})");
if (re.exec(ua) != null)
rv = parseFloat( RegExp.$1 );
}
return rv;
}
function checkVersion()
{
var msg = "You're not using Internet Explorer.";
var ver = getInternetExplorerVersion();
if ( ver > -1 )
{
if ( ver == 6.0 )
**Hide the DIV here**
}
alert( msg );
}
Try
<!--[if lte IE 6.0]>
in your CSS, using lte (less-than or equal) rather than lt (less-than).
Conditional comments shouldn't affect Firefox at all as they are commented out and the browser should ignore it. I would check that your Firefox stylesheet is correct and embeded correctly something like this:
<link href="/css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<link href="/css/ie6.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"/>
<![endif]-->
Edit
After reading Natalie Downe's answer, I'd do it like this:
<!--[if true]><![if !IE]><![endif]-->
<h1>You're not using IE. Well done!</h1>
<!--[if true]><![endif]><![endif]-->
You can use negated conditional comments to hide things from IE but not from other browsers.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style type="text/css"></style>
<script type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<![if !IE]>
<h1>You're not using IE. Well done!</h1>
<![endif]>
</body>
</html>
It renders some invalid markup, but it works.
Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512%28VS.85%29.aspx
Natalie Downe's answer is good enough, but there's a shorter and clearer version to hide content from IE6 (or whatever version below 10):
<!--[if !IE 6]><!-->IE6 can't see me<!--<![endif]-->
To target IE6 and below, you can use
<!--[if gt IE 6]><!-->IE6 and lower can't see me<!--<![endif]-->
And if you want to support IE10+ only, you can use
<!--[if !IE]><!-->IE9 and lower can't see me<!--<![endif]-->
In fact, IE10+ doesn't support conditional comments. Inspired by Browserhacks.
Every other browser can see the content, of course, since it's all valid HTML.
