[Seaside] Generating html hacks for IE

Thu May 15 04:43:20 UTC 2008

#revealedIf and #if work only in the <head>. Not in the <body>. Doing
IE hacks in the body (especially for closing anchors) seems very
fishy.

You could do something like

html anchor
    with: [
        html text: 'item1'.
        html html: '<!--[if IE7]><!-->' ].
html html: '<!--<![endif]-->'

Cheers
