How to add CSS Hack specifically for IE10?

Question

I am trying to add css only for iE 10.

Actually my css is working fine in chrome and firefox. But is creating some problem in IE 10.

I tried this code and made ie10.css but it is not working.

<script> 
if (/*@cc_on!@*/false) { 

    var headHTML = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].innerHTML; 

headHTML    += '<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="css/ie10.css">'; 
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].innerHTML = headHTML; 
} 
</script>

It is not working. Kindly help.

Answer 1

You can easily track the latest versions of IE (mostly IE 10 and IE 11) using

1. CSS media query hack:

/* 
    #ie10,11 will only be red in MSIE 10, 
    both in high contrast (display setting) and default mode 
*/

@media screen and (-ms-high-contrast: active), (-ms-high-contrast: none) { 
   //-- Put your IE specific css class here 
}

OR

@media screen and (min-width:0\0) {  
    /* IE9 and IE10 rule sets go here */  
}

Working Example

2. Browser Detection:

if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version == 10) {
  $("html").addClass("ie10");
}

3. Using script (NOT Tested):

<script>
    /*@cc_on
      @if (@_jscript_version == 10)
          document.write('<link type= "text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="your-ie10-styles.css" />');
      @end
    @*/
</script >

Note : I know document.write is considered bad practice.

Conditional comments (ie10 dropped conditional comments):

if you want to load external css file for IE, you can use conditional comments. But as you mentioned in question you wants for IE 10 and ie10 dropped conditional comments.

microsoft drop conditional comments in ie10.
