Following up on this compass thread
http://groups.google.com/group/compass-users/browse_thread/thread/fbe8470caccec27b
What would be the best way to implement the conditional body tag in my
HAML layout?
http://paulirish.com/2008/conditional-stylesheets-vs-css-hacks-answer-neither/
I thought I could do
/[if !IE]
%body
/[endif]
but that doesn't work. On the Compass thread someone mentioned that
it would need to be done in erb.
So would I do
:erb
<!--[if !IE]>--> <body> <!--<![endif]-->
Is this the best way to do this?

I bet somebody has a better way, but here's something I've done before
- capture the haml and then render it with or without the %body based
on your conditional. Not real pretty, but at least the ugliness is
mostly just confined to the top and bottom of the file. Something like
this:
- body = capture_haml do
- ...haml for everything in layout...
- if request.env['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] !~ /msie/i
%body= body
- else
= body

For this sort of thing, I just use a simple string-manipulating helper: http://gist.github.com/134988

I'm guessing:
conditional_body do
rest of haml document
Just make sure to put that gist in a helper... most likely in the application helper if you're going to use it everywhere.

nice helper by the way. i look forward to never having to use it because all browsers are standards compliant (in about 40 years). =)
