<html>
  <head>
    <!-- [If IE]><script>alert('IE!')</script><![endif] -->
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>
      Hello World
    </p>
  </body>
</html>

Is there something wrong with this, or do I need to add a DOCtype / meta heading to get it to work?

    This is just to clarify (since noone has really).

    It’s the space between <!-- and [If IE] aswell as the space after [endif] that breaks your code. It’s not there in any of the answers that are previous to mine, therefor they work and yours do not.

    Bad: 

    <!-- [If IE]> <![endif] -->

    Good: 

    <!--[If IE]> <![endif]-->

    <!DOCTYPE html> is a good practice, but not needed for this to work.
