This is a Ruby on Rails plugin, which provides a clever helper for creating conditional comments for Internet Explorer. If you are unsure of how conditional comments work, details can be found at msdn.
Use this to install as a plugin in a Ruby on Rails app:
$ script/plugin install git://github.com/logandk/conditional_comment.git
Use this if you prefer the idea of being able to easily switch between using edge or a tagged version:
$ git submodule add git://github.com/logandk/conditional_comment.git vendor/plugins/conditional_comment
After installation, a helper called conditional_comment will automatically be available to all your views. Here are some usage examples:
conditional_comment do
stylesheet_link_tag "site/ie.css"
end
In this case, the stylesheet will be shown in all versions of Internet Explorer.
You can limit which versions of Internet Explorer should display the contents of the conditional comment, using the :version parameter. This parameter accepts a number, string or symbol using the following syntax: [not] [less|greater than [or equal to]] [version]. Here are some examples:
conditional_comment :version => 7 do
stylesheet_link_tag "site/ie.css" # Displayed in IE 7
end
conditional_comment :version => "less than 7" do
stylesheet_link_tag "site/ie.css" # Displayed in IE 6 and below
end
conditional_comment :version => "greater than or equal to 5" do
stylesheet_link_tag "site/ie.css" # Displayed in IE 5 and above
end
conditional_comment :version => "not 6" do
stylesheet_link_tag "site/ie.css" # Displayed in everything besides IE 6
end
conditional_comment :version => :less_than_6 do
stylesheet_link_tag "site/ie.css" # Displayed in IE 5 and below
end
