title: Conditional comments for CSS class on html tag in Explorer
body: <p>I am a beginner in web development and I need help from other experienced web developers. For compatibility issues with IE, I came across Paul Irish's Conditional comments but I am very green to it. Where does the code below go, after <i><b>doctype html</b></i> or in the <i><b>head</b></i> tag?</p>
  
  
  
  <pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;!--[if lt IE 7]&gt;&lt;html class="ie6"&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;
  &lt;!--[if IE 7]&gt;&lt;html class="ie7"&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;
  &lt;!--[if IE 8]&gt;&lt;html class="ie8"&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;
  &lt;!--[if IE 9]&gt;&lt;html class="ie9"&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;
  &lt;!--[if (gt IE 9)|!(IE)]&gt;&lt;!--&gt;&lt;html class=""&gt;&lt;!--&lt;[endif]--&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And what exactly is the code in those classes supposed to be with an example please.</p>
