Rails 4 Asset Pipeline and IE8 Assets

Question

I have a .css file and .js file that should only load for internet explorer 8 and lower browsers. In pure HTML I would typically have:

<!--[if lt IE 9]>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie8-and-down.css" />
<![endif]-->

How do I manage this within the rails asset pipeline?

Answer 1

As an example for your javascript <!--[if lt IE 9]> <%= javascript_include_tag "ie" %> <![endif]-->

And you just name your js file under assets/javascripts/ie.js

Look at stylesheet_link_tag for your css files.
