          Description

          I tried to add an Internet Explorer conditional style to solve some rendering differences between IE and FF. To way to add conditional comments is by using the following syntax

          <!--[if IE]>
          Special instructions for IE here
          <![endif]-->

          The problem is that Tapestry adds a space between <!-- and [if IE]

          example: <Unable to render embedded object: File (--[if IE]> becomes <) not found.-- [if IE]> (note the added space)

          IE only accepts the conditional comment if there is no space between <!-- and [if IE]

            There is an easy workaround: use the writeRaw() method.

            Workaround (found on mailinglist) is to create a ConditionalComment component.

            Usage example:

            <!-- IE requires a change to the error style -->
            <t:ConditionalComment t:condition="IE">
            <style>
            HTML BODY DIV.t-error LI

            { margin-left: 20px; }

            </style>
            </t:ConditionalComment>

            package mitm.mimesecure.web.components;

            import org.apache.tapestry5.BindingConstants;
            import org.apache.tapestry5.MarkupWriter;
            import org.apache.tapestry5.annotations.AfterRender;
            import org.apache.tapestry5.annotations.BeginRender;
            import org.apache.tapestry5.annotations.Parameter;

            public class ConditionalComment
            {
            @Parameter(required = true, defaultPrefix = BindingConstants.LITERAL)
            private String condition;

            @BeginRender
            public void beginRender(MarkupWriter writer)

            { writer.writeRaw("<!--[if "); writer.writeRaw(condition); writer.writeRaw("]>\n"); }

            @AfterRender
            public void afterRender(MarkupWriter writer)

            { writer.writeRaw("<![endif]-->"); }

            }
