How to incorporate html5shiv

[Stevo]

In trying to make HTML5 work in IE, I decided to integrate the
html5shiv library into my default.html file. When I place this:

<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></
script>
<![endif]-->

in that file's header though, it does not become part of the page
source. Does anyone know what might be causing this to happen?

Best regards and Happy New Year,


Steve

You'll need to add:

LiftRules.stripComments.default.set(() => false)

to your Boot class. By default, Lift strips comments.

Cheers, Tim

In general, if you want to include the funky IE comments, it's best to do it in a snippet:

import scala.xml._

object InsertHtml5Shiv {
  def render = Unparsed(

"""<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></ script>
<![endif]-->

""")

}

That'll force the bytes (well, characters) just as you've written them into the output (make sure they are correct).
 

Best regards and Happy New Year,

We use a snippet that stands in for the comment tags themselves:

  object Util {

    def snippetHandlers : SnippetPF = {

      case List("ie-conditional-comment") => ieConditionalComment _

    }

    def ieConditionalComment(xhtml:NodeSeq) = {

      val ieVersion =

        (for (version <- S.attr("version")) yield version) openOr "IE"

      Unparsed("<!--[if " + ieVersion + "]>") ++ xhtml ++ Unparsed("<![endif]-->")

    }

  }

(Util.snippetHandlers gets added to LiftRules.snippets.)

Then you can do:

<lift:ie-conditional-comment>

  <stuff>

</lift:ie-conditional-comment>

You can also do:

<lift:ie-conditional-comment version="IE9">

  ...

</lift:ie-conditional-comment>

If you use lift:with-resource-id inside (which we do), you'll also need to add eager_eval="true" to the end.

Thanks,

Antonio
