How to use conditional CSS In CakePHP 2.x?

Question

I have to translate this code:

<!--[if IE 7]>    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/ie7-style.css" />    <![endif]-->

But what do to when i must to use a conditional css expression like above?

Answer 1

If you want conditionals set inside a view file (as in not in a layout), you can do:

// in your view file
$this->Html->css('file', null, array('block' => 'ie_conditional_css'));

// in layout
<?php if ($ieConditionalCss = $this->fetch('ie_conditional_css')): ?
<!--[if lt IE 8]><?php echo $ieConditionalCss ; ?><![endif]-->
<?php endif; ?>

Answer 2

You just put the comments around your PHP, like this:

<!--[if lt IE 8]><?php echo $html->css('filename') ?><![endif]-->
