 * With your code it worked in Mozilla, but not in IE 8.
 * Did not understand why you if and endif codes are inside
    `<!--[ ]-->`
 * Am I suppose to replace those with `<?php ?>` ?

 * That code works for me in IE8.
 * Those are IE conditional tags. They are supposed to look just like they do. Most
   browsers will ignore them as comments but IE will look for them and render whatever
   it finds inside them.
