Question

I’ve seen people doing things like this in their HTML:

<!--[if IE]>   <link rel='stylesheet' href='ie.css' type='text/css' /> <![endif]--> 

Does this work across all modern browsers and is there a list of browser types that will work with that kind of if statement?

Edit

Thanks Ross. Interesting to find out about gt, lt, gte, & lte.

Answer 1

This works across all browsers because anything except IE sees <!--IGNORED COMMENT-->. Only IE reads the comment if it contains a conditional clause. Have a look at this article

You can also specify which version of IE. For example:

<!--[if IE 8]> <link rel='stylesheet type='text/css' href='ie8.css' /> <![endif]-->
