Code:

<!--[if IE 6 ]><html class="ie ielt9 ielt8 ielt7 ie6" lang="en-US"><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7 ]><html class="ie ielt9 ielt8 ie7" lang="en-US"><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8 ]><html class="ie ielt9 ie8" lang="en-US"><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 9 ]><html class="ie ie9" lang="en-US"><![endif]-->
<!--[if (gt IE 9)|!(IE)]><!--><html lang="en-US"><!--<![endif]-->

I found this code in a web page.

It is not javascript but it is also not server side because I have it in my browser.

How exactly this code work?

Can anyone clarify this to me?

It's done in the browser, these are "IE Conditional Comments" and they're setting classes based on the version of IE in use. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...=vs.85%29.aspx for documentation.

thanks.

And how other browser handle it?

Do they have stadard for this?

Nope, this is only an IE thing, largely to allow developers to tweak code for specific non-standard components of its various versions. The other browsers (and current IE browser) generally conform pretty well to the standards, so there's much less need for tweaks to those.
