    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');
