[Seaside] conditionally change the class of the html document for IE

Sun Dec 25 17:33:50 UTC 2011

Thanks Boris, your suggestion is a good one.

I'm trying to replicate the head section of the Skeleton 
(http://www.getskeleton.com) responsive grid framework example 
index.html file.  I was going to put it, and Twitter Bootstrap 
(http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/), Gridless 
(http://thatcoolguy.github.com/gridless-boilerplate/) and 320AndUp 
(http://stuffandnonsense.co.uk/projects/320andup/) up on squeaksource. 
Nick Ager's Seafox has been super handy for this by the way.

Because I'm just making Seaside versions of those CSS frameworks, I 
don't want to add modernizr if I can help it.  The relevant part of the 
file is:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if lt IE 7 ]><html class="ie ie6" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7 ]><html class="ie ie7" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8 ]><html class="ie ie8" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if (gte IE 9)|!(IE)]><!--><html lang="en"> <!--<![endif]-->
<head>

But I also don't know that leaving out those declarations will cause any 
problems.
