   Hey guys,
   This something i put together to in my functions.php for enqueuing an IE stylesheet only when wordpress detects that the user is on IE.

   I saw that there was an IE global variable so I tried to make use of that. I'm not getting any errors when I run this, buts its not enqueuing the stylesheet as I hoped. Anyone have any idea what the problem is?

   thanks for any help

   $bloginfo = get_bloginfo('template_url');
   if ( !function_exists( 'StyleLoader' ) ) {
   	function StyleLoader( $bloginfo ) {
   		if ( !is_admin() ) {
   			global $is_IE;
   			if ( $is_IE ) {
   				wp_register_style('ieStyle', $bloginfo . '/css/ieStyle.css', array(), '1.0', 'screen');
   				wp_enqueue_style('ieStyle');
   			}
   		}
   	}
   }
   add_action('wp_head', 'StyleLoader');

   i tried doing a print_r($is_IE); on my IE dev machine and it returned true...

   ive checked the source and its not including anything in the header as i would expect it to.

   so i took out the $bloginfo bit and just hard coded the path to the style sheet in my Wp_register_Style function.

   Its still not enqueuing the style. I can echo stuff inside the is_IE if statement and it works. it seems to be something in the register or enqueue functions..

   To all those interested:

   my mistake was using add_action('wp_head', 'StyleLoader');

   if I had paid attention to the codex I would have seen that I needed to hook into wp_print_styles ... for some reason wp_head wasn't groovy.

   so this works:

   if ( !function_exists( 'StyleLoader' ) ) {
   	function StyleLoader()  {
   		if ( !is_admin() ) {
   			global $is_IE;
   			if ( $is_IE ) {
   				wp_register_style( 'ieStyle', 'http://url.com/css/ieStyle.css', array(), '1.0' );
   				wp_enqueue_style( 'ieStyle' );
   			}
   		}
   	}
   }
   add_action('wp_print_styles', 'StyleLoader');
