Change in HEAD makes site not work correctly? - html

I've added new meta tags and a different title tag to the head of my document, which makes the IE code that redraws the black background not work.
Any idea what I have missed? I can't see anything in the new code which would be causing this to break?
Old correct working code:

It looks like your link tags are malformed. Close them and you should be good.

Do i need to use the <noscript> in this code?

The code below is used in the index.html and seems to work ok.
When i try to use the same code () in an html file in a subfolder it does not display any of the css.
Is the tag neccessary on the main index.html file?
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title> </title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="description" content="" />
<meta name="keywords" content="" />
<!--[if lte IE 8]><script src="css/ie/html5shiv.js"></script><![endif]-->
<script src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.dropotron.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.slidertron.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/skel.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/skel-layers.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/init.js"></script>
**<noscript>**
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/skel.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style-desktop.css" />
**</noscript>**
<!--[if lte IE 8]><link rel="stylesheet" href="css/ie/v8.css" /><![endif]-->
</head>
To have it display the css when you're in a subfolder, add ../ infront of the relative path to the css document. For example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/skel.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/style.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/style-desktop.css" />

html - if prefix doesn't seem to work

I'd like to detect if the user uses IE or another browser. So just after
<!doctype html>
but before
<html lang="pl-PL">
I put this code:
<![if !IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" />
<![endif]>
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" href="css/style-ie.css" />
<![endif]-->
But it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong?
The <link> tag should be a child of the <head> tag.
<html lang="pl-PL">
<head>
<![if !IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" />
<![endif]>

i am using this in HTML5
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/loader.css" media="all"/>
But w3c validator giving me this error:-

Please help i am stucked with it,

</div>
Everything is according to standards. Please have a look on the code. I don't know why validator is not passing my page.
you can add property="stylesheet" in the link tag
link tags don't need self closes. Remove that and try again.

Conditional comments don't work

I have this code with conditional comments for IE7 and IE8:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<link href="css/basic.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="css/ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<!--[if lte IE 8]>
<link href="css/ie8fix.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 7]>
<link href="css/ie7fix.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE]>
<script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
</head>
<body>
Stylesheets in conditional comments are not working. I tested this in IE Tester.
Actually, Microsost doesnt support Conditional comments any more. I was kind of stuck myself for a while, so I wrote an an article about it:
http://www.yofiel.com/writing/essays/microsoft-s-exit-strategy
IETester is based on an unsupported hack that has incorrect behaviors in some cases. Have you tried testing in a real browser? Microsoft provides the VMs for free at http://modern.ie.
