all I simply want to do is; if the browser is less than internet explorer 8 find and remove $(document).foundation();
<!--[if IE 8]>
//code here
<![endif]-->
Simply deleting a plugin like that, e.g.
<!--[if lt IE 8]><!-->
<script>
delete $.fn.foundation;
</script>
<!--<![endif]-->
Will probably cause all sorts of problems and is generally a bad idea - see here for why.
Instead, just load the foundation() plugin/related scripts if the browser is IE8+ or a different browser:
<!--[if gte IE 8]><!-->
<script src="/js/foundation.min.js"></script>
// Other related scripts etc...
<!--<![endif]-->

I'm trying to build a simple conditional comment to check if the user has anything less than the IE9...
Tried this just to debug the conditions, inside the body:
<!--[if !(IE)]>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">alert("NOT IE");</SCRIPT>
<![endif]-->
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">alert("IE <9");</SCRIPT>
<![endif]-->
<!--[if gte IE 9]>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">alert("IE >=9");</SCRIPT>
<![endif]-->
When opening the page in IE or Firefox, nothing happen.
Then changed the comments format:
<!--[if !(IE)]>-->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">alert("NOT IE");</SCRIPT>
<!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if lt IE 9]>-->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">alert("IE <9");</SCRIPT>
<!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if gte IE 9]>-->
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">alert("IE >=9");</SCRIPT>
<!--<![endif]-->
With this i get all the messages in both browsers?!?!
Then i take a look to the microsoft website, and found this sample:
http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/misc/ccdh02.htm
It works fine in both browsers directly from the link. So i just copied the source-code and pasted in a new page, and the code in the IE doesnt work (i can't tell if it really works in the Firefox, get the same results), it shows me this messages:
You are not using Internet Explorer.
You are using a downlevel browser.
So what's the problem? I replicated the entire page in a local file and the same thing happens...
I need to understand why this happen, or what i'm doing wrong, so then i can create my comment...
Thanks
I want to load a .css file if the browser is ie8 or lower and other file if the browser is greater than ie8 or other browser (chrome, safari, etc).
I've read that ther isn't an else in html conditional. And the answers here always says to use something like this:
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
This is less then IE9
<![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]> <!-- -->
this is all browsers: IE9 or higher, firefox, chrome, etc.
<!-- <![endif]-->
The problem with this is that I don't want to do that only if the browser is greater than 8, I want to do iy if the browser is other than ie also.
How can I do it?
Thanks!
The <!-- --> will ensure that other browsers see the content between it and the next <!--. Notice how the syntax highlighter on Stack Overflow does not highlight the content as an HTML comment — that's how you can tell.
A more common variation that's somewhat shorter:
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!-->
this is all browsers: IE9 or higher, firefox, chrome, etc.
<!--<![endif]-->
Just put your styles before IE conditionals
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="your_styles.css">
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
This is less then IE9
<![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]>
this is for: IE9 or higher
<![endif]-->
I have this html line
I am trying to make it so that when IE reads that line, it changes the "listHr" id to "listhrIE".
I have tried this, in an attempt to switch out the line altogeather, but no luck:
<hr id="listHr"></hr> <!--[if IE]><id="listHrIE"></hr><![endif]-->
I am sure I am doing this wrong. What is the correct way of doing this?
Thanks.
IE tags have a "not IE" component.
<!--[if IE]>
<hr id="listHrIE"></hr>
<![endif]-->
<![if !IE]>
<hr id="listHr"></hr>
<![endif]>
However I'd offer a better way to do it would be to just override the style of listHr when IE is detected
As #Paulie_D pointed out: conditional tags are deprecated and won't work for IE 10 and above. You can use a special meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9">
to force them to work however this is not recommended. See here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/hh801214(v=vs.85).aspx
try these:
<!--[if !IE]><hr id="listHr"></hr><!-->
<!--[if IE]><hr id="listHrIE"></hr><!-->
if you want set this id for some version of IE, you can do this:
greater and equal IE8:
<!--[if gte IE 8]><!-->
less and equal IE8:
<!--[if lte IE 8]><!-->
equal IE8:
<!--[if IE 8]><!-->
You can use IE only conditional tags to detect IE.
Just like:
<!--[if IE ]>
<p>Welcome to Internet Explorer 8.</p>
<![endif]-->
So, In your case you need two things to change ID.
1) Display IE only ID
2) Hide non-IE ID
To apply IE only ID you need following conditional tag code
<!--[if IE ]>
<div id="listHrIE"></hr>
<![endif]-->
To hide non-IE ID you need to add display:none
<!--[if IE ]>
<div id="listHrIE"></div>
<div id="listHr" style="display:none"></div>
<![endif]-->
Now you can style your IE Only ID in way you want and it will only replace listHr when IE detects.
Update: To target IE 10 Use following jQuery: Before using add jQuery Migrate
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-migrate-1.0.0.js"></script> This line
to your page<head>
Then add
if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version == 10) {
$("html").addClass("ie10");
}
I hope this helps :)
I have a fullscreen/background slideshow that my client loves that just utterly fails in Internet Explorer 8 and below. I think trying to fix that is way beyond my capabilities right now so I would just like to switch it out for another IE safe background slideshow (less good looking but its something at least) if the browser is IE8 or below.
However, I know that you can switch stylesheets by using
<!--[if IE]>
etc, but the stylesheet relies on some basic html markup within a div (example below) that I do not want to show on the page to internet explorer ...
<ul class="cb-slideshow">
<li><span>Image 01</span><div><h3>Lorem Ipsum Dolor</h3></div></li>
<li><span>Image 02</span><div><h3>Lorem Ipsum Dolor</h3></div></li>
<li><span>Image 03</span><div><h3>Lorem Ipsum Dolor</h3></div></li>
</ul>
how do I remove this if the user is using IE8 or below? I am using a mac so running many tests in IE is not really possible so I am not being lazy in asking.
Do I just have to have different pages or something?
Thanks in advance
If you use conditional comments to set a class on the <html> tag you can avoid having a separate stylesheet:
<!--[if lt IE 7]> <body class="ie ie6 lte9 lte8 lte7"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]> <body class="ie ie7 lte9 lte8 lte7"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]> <body class="ie ie8 lte9 lte8"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 9]> <body class="ie ie9 lte9"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 9]> <body class="ie"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if !IE]><!--> <body> <!--<![endif]-->
in your styles just hide the ul : .lte9 .cb-slideshow { display: none;}
see:
http://paulirish.com/2008/conditional-stylesheets-vs-css-hacks-answer-neither/
and
http://misteroneill.com/journal/improved-internet-explorer-targeting-through-body-classes/
To expand on one of the comments, you can put conditional comments anywhere, so you can do this:
<!--[if lt IE9]>// IE-specific slideshow HTML here. <![endif]-->
<!--[if gte IE 9]><!-->// Standard slideshow HTML here (for IE9+ and non-IE browsers) <!--<![endif]-->
Try this:
<!--[if !LT IE 9]><!-->
<p>Not IE 8 and below and all other browsers</p>
<!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<p>IE 8 and below </p>
<![endif]-->
The first block outputs to all browsers except IE8 and below.
The second block outputs to IE8 and below.
You can define different layout inside <div id="browserid" style="display:none">...</div>-Tags where browserid is one of IE, FF, etc. That makes them invisible by default.
Then you define a javscript function, that is called at onpageLoad and that evaluates the navigator.userAgent property. That contains the client browser name. Depending on that value you change the corresponding 's display-style.
IE<9 does not understand data: URIs, so I'm outputting two different stylesheets: one with normal links to images for IE 8 and below, and one with base64-encoded inline images, for other browsers.
<!--[if lte IE 8]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/public/themes/url.style.css">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]>-->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/public/themes/b64.style.css">
<!--<![endif]-->
Problem: In IE9, I'm seeing a stray --> output on the page. Because it's inside the <head> it appears at the very top of the page. How should I get rid of it?
And I've got it. I did search for valid conditional comments, and found an article telling me to do what I was already doing, but then by chance I came across a by-the-way remark in another answer here which showed me the correct way to do it:
<!--[if lte IE 8]>
<span>This is for IE 7 and below.</span>
<![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!-->
<span>This is for all other browsers (IE 8, and browsers which don't do conditional comments).</span>
<!--<![endif]-->
See the difference: <!--[if gt IE 8]><!--> instead of <!--[if gt IE 8]>-->.
