How to prevent VF from stripping comments?

I am trying to conditionally include a style sheet based on browser type. For example -

 

<!-- [if IE]> <apex:stylesheet value="{!URLFOR($Resource.ext221, 'resources/css/FIX-v221.css')}" />
<![endif] -->

 

 The comment above is stripped out by VF processing. I saw a posting on this forum suggesting that a work around would be to replace this by:

 

&lt;!--  [if IE]> <apex:stylesheet value="{!URLFOR($Resource.ext221, 'resources/css/FIX-v221.css')}" />

<! [endif] --&gt;

 

This works for IE but on other browsers, this is not treated as a comment.

I get a 'element is not well formed' error and  the CSS is included anyway with incorrect results.. 

  

    Any help with this would be much appreciated

Hey

 

Your post set me on the right track, and I think I've solved your issue too, try this:

 

 

<!-- This hack is necessary because SF escapes the conditional tag --> <div style="display:none"> &lt;!--[if lte IE 6]> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{!URLFOR($Resource.WebRegistration, 'css/ie6.css')}" /> &lt;![endif] --&gt; </div>
