public class ERXIEConditionalComment
extends ERXStatelessComponent

Conditional comments make it easy for developers to take advantage of the enhanced features offered by Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and later versions, while writing pages that downgrade gracefully in less-capable browsers or display correctly in browsers other than Windows Internet Explorer.

From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512(VS.85).aspx

ERXIEConditionalComment is designed to generate IE conditional comments. It supports all conditional comment styles except combination sub-expressions and explicit true/false conditionals.

Example Usage

In your HTML file an IE Conditional would look something like:
<webobject name = "IsNotIE" >Content rendered by all browsers except IE version 5+</webobject>
<webobject name = "IsNotIE6" >Content only rendered by IE. Includes all versions of IE greater than IE5, not including IE6</webobject>
<webobject name = "IsGTEIE7" >Content only rendered by IE 7 and above</webobject>

In your WOD file, those conditionals would be bound like:
IsNotIE: ERXIEConditionalComment { negate = true; }
IsNotIE6: ERXIEConditionalComment { negate = true; versionString = "6"; }
IsGTEIE7: ERXIEConditionalComment { isGreaterThanEqual = true; versionString = "7"; }

Bindings

isGreaterThan	boolean binding evaluates the version of IE against the versionString binding
isGreaterThanEqual	boolean binding evaluates the version of IE against the versionString binding
isLessThan	boolean binding evaluates the version of IE against the versionString binding
isLessThanEqual	boolean binding evaluates the version of IE against the versionString binding
negate	boolean binding indicates the inverse of the version evaluation if versionString binding is bound. Otherwise, this binding escapes the IE conditional comments so that all browser except IE will render the component contents.
versionString	the version of IE being targeted. If all versions of IE are targeted, leave versionString unbound. If all browser except IE are targeted, leave versionString unbound and bind negate.
