html - Is it wrong to use "if IE" conditional comment to control what content is displayed? -
i have simple html login form in want display users internet explorer (as per existing design, not choice) , display error message when accessed other browser.
my question is, how wrong use <!--[if ie]>
tag in body determine content show, if @ all? there drawbacks using this?
login.html
<html> <head> ... </head> <body> <!--[if ie]> <form> ... </form> <![endif]--> <![if !ie]> site can accessed via internet explorer <![endif]--> </body> </html>
i aware can use javascript, css or server-side things perform this, want change code , design minimally possible , quite curious drawbacks of above method.
according msdn, conditional comments not supported in standards mode of ie 10.

that said, if supporting browsers need using them go it. don't surprised if phased out going forward.
also, syntax wrong on not ie comment. should 2 comments other browsers handle correctly.
<!--[if !ie]--> site can accessed via internet explorer <!--[endif]-->
