Comments on: IE Conditional Comments in XSLT 1.0 http://www.nickfitz.co.uk/2005/10/27/ie-conditional-comments-in-xslt-10/ The occasional online observations of Nick Fitzsimons Thu, 15 Jul 2010 10:27:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Stuart http://www.nickfitz.co.uk/2005/10/27/ie-conditional-comments-in-xslt-10/comment-page-1/#comment-52330 Stuart Wed, 22 Apr 2009 22:21:50 +0000 http://www.nickfitz.co.uk/?p=7#comment-52330 Oh Nick, if the secret of great comedy is in the timing, then the pique of tragedy is in the lack thereof. Just went through a final pre-launch of a site which worked in all but IE6, couldn't find a fix to add conditionals in XSLT. "Never mind" I thought, the designer is bringing his Macbook so no chance of IE6's ugly face around there. "Ho ho!" says God, casting a random spanner in my general direction, and lo the designer appears sans Macbook. "No problem" says random Bod, here use this workstation - "With IE6 on!!!"</strong>. So, now shamefaced and angry I search the net and your bounteous answers falls at my feet, fixing the site and looking fine and dandy in IE6... only 3 hours late. Bah. (thanks anyway).

BTW I’ve just noticed that WordPress appears to have changed some of the code slightly :-(

Until I get it fixed, please note that

xhref="ie-win-fixup.css" mce_href="ie-win-fixup.css"

should be

href="ie-win-fixup.css"

Now I can combine this trick with Dean Edwards' IE7 library to get XHTML support in IE6 and IE7. W00t! :) Thank you very much.

No other article on the web seemed to quite work. Many thanks. It might be 2008 not 2005 when this was first posted, but this post really really helped me out with Conditional Comments.
