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: <!-[if IE]> becomes <!- [if IE]> (note the added space)

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