 Posted: Sat Jan 24, 2009 12:13 am IE conditional inline style |
 |
|
|
I have a website that needs special code for IE7 and above. I want to insert a declaration in realtime into an inline style, based on an IE conditional test.
| Code: |
<div style="margin-bottom:10px;
<!--[if IE ]>
margin-bottom:5px
<![endif]-->
>" |
But that isn't the correct syntax for inserting text/code using IE conditionals. I tried using javascript document.write but that simply echoed "document.write("margin-bottom:5px") literally. What to do? |

Conditional statements are meant for the head section. Give the div an id
| Code: |
| <div id="mydiv" style="margin-bottom:10px; |
Then put the conditional statement as the last entry before the ending head tag
| Code: |
<!--[if IE ]>
<style type="text/css">
#mydiv {margin-bottom:5px;}
</style>
<![endif]-->
</head> |
This will affect all versions of IE including IE8 so you might want to specify which version you want
| Code: |
<!--[if lte IE 7 ]>
will affect IE7 and older |
| Code: |
<!--[if IE 7 ]>
will affect only IE7 |

I'm sure you're right, but I used the IE conditionals in the menu header portion of my web site and it worked perfectly.
Validation in xhtml 1.1 was another story, as a dozen errors popped up. I had to edit my code, not by escaping with "\", but choosing the safer path with "<" and ">". Notice the "div onclick" (!onClick) which means that anywhere else they right click returns them to the home page.
| Code: |
<div onclick="location.href='../index.shtml';" style="margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:0;
<!--[if IE ]>margin-bottom:25px<![endif]-->">
<!--#include virtual="./menu.shtml" -->
<br style="clear:both" />
</div> |
I was unable to delete my post here. It says edit/delete but then I couldn't find how to delete it.
Ain't is funny that we're essentially coding to account for anomalies in three web browsers: gecko, webkit and IE ? And all I wanted to do was write code to W3C standards. No such luck. I don't want to lose 40% of my readers by redirecting IE 7+ clients to FF, but I just might, as the economy tanks here in the USA. (http://communitychessclub.com) |

| All browsers are getting better at rendering code to standards except IE who Microsoft has promised since 1995 that each release was better. I think they're going backwards since none have come close to standards. |
