Prevent IE including javascript

I have a jQuery animation that works fine in all browsers but does not work as intended in IE7 most probably because of some obscure CSS bug. Is there a way I can allow the script to be included in all browsers except IE7 ?

If you want to include the script in all browser but not in IE 7 you can use this code:

<!--[if ! IE 7]>
Script goes here
<![endif]-->

I thought IE conditional statements are only seen by Internet Explorer browsers so the example you gave would only include the script in all IE browsers except IE7 .

I manage to fix the problem anyway.

would be nice to also tell how, maybe others would have the same question

$browser = get_browser();

if($browser->browser == 'IE' && $browser->majorver == 6) {
    echo "IE6";
} elseif($browser->browser == 'IE' && $browser->majorver == 7) {
    echo "IE7";
}

Why not use jQuery

$.browser

Why use IE?

There are two types of conditional comments: downlevel hidden, and downlevel revealed.

Here is the first type:

This is hidden for most browsers because it looks just like a comment, and revealed for IE, since the expression evaluates as true.

Here is the second type

This one is parsed by most browsers because it looks like HTML inside an arbitrary block element. Additionally, if the expression evaluates as true in IE (which this expression won’t), it would also be parsed. In this case, the HTML would be parsed by every browser except IE
