hi,
how can I load a css file only if the browser is not IE ?
In other terms, I want to load a css file only if it is Safari, Firefox o Chrome. The opposite of this:
<!--[if IE 8]>
<![endif]-->
thanks

4this won't work, you need to use "downlevel-revealed" conditional comments. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512(VS.85).aspx#dlrevealed

it will work for the question posted. "how can I load a css file only if the browser is not IE" I refer you to the table in the same location you posted, the very first entry in the truth table on that page.

I believe based off this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512%28VS.85%29.aspx you can do this:
<![if !IE]>
Other browser code here
<![endif]>
Edited the above to be valid. The link at microsoft shows the above, but RoToRa is correct that it is invalid and should be (note, contrary to RoToRa, you don't need the extra "!" before the "endif" inside the brackets):
<!--[if !IE]>-->
Other browser code here
<!--[endif]-->

These are called Downlevel-Revealed conditional comments, as opposed to the more common Downlevel-Hidden ones.

<!--<![endif]-->
Don't use the following. It is invalid HTML:
<![if !IE]>
...
<![endif]>

@annakata we can only assume the bottom one, as we know the top to be comment syntax `<!--` *...* `-->`

In addition to the plethora of correct answers above, it's worth asking yourself why you're doing this - it's usually more correct to include a file only for IE since it is only IE which meaningfully deviates from the standards.
The inverse form also has the benefit of being considerably more readable, imho. :)
