IE条件注释

Question

Why this line doesn't work?

<!--[if !IE]>--><link rel="Stylesheet" runat="server" href="Styles/IE.css" /><!--<![endif]-->

Is it something not supported in newer version of IE?

Please assist, thanks.

Answer 2

Support for conditional comments has been removed in Internet Explorer 10 standards and quirks modes for improved interoperability and compliance with HTML5. This means that Conditional Comments are now treated as regular comments, just like in other browsers.

The easy fix is to add an special META tag to tell to IE to emulate IE9

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE9">

This is a quick fix but the long-term solution is to remove the dependency from the code.
