IE Special comments

[drumbo]

Hi,

I am using an ASP script to generate my menu_data file and I am using a special comment from MS (that IE detects and acts on) in the script, however by using this comment - the menu breaks (i.e I get javascript errors)

The code:

Code: Select all

with(HeadersStyle=new mm_style()){
<!--[if !IE]>
bordercolor="#66CCFF";
borderstyle="solid";
borderwidth=1;
<![endif]-->
headerbgcolor="#E3E9F4";

if I run the menu_data.asp script I can see the following

Code: Select all

(HeadersStyle=new mm_style())
{ 
headerbgcolor="#E3E9F4"; 

as you can see (because the browser is IE) the border information is stripped out which is what I want. However the menu fails.

Is there anyway around this?

Thanks

Hi,

There is a much easier way to do this by using the menu's IE detection, here's how:

Code: Select all

with(HeadersStyle=new mm_style()){ 
if(ie){
bordercolor="#66CCFF"; 
borderstyle="solid"; 
borderwidth=1; 
}
headerbgcolor="#E3E9F4"; 

Hope this helps,
Andy
