Conditional IE statement - run script

Question

I have a lame problem:

If I use something like:

<!--[if IE]>
     Random text
<![endif]-->

and I open page in IE (9) I naturally see the text "Random text". Everything is ok.

If I use:

<!--[if IE]>
<script type="text/javascript">
    alert("aaa);
</script>
<![endif]-->

Nothing happens.

I need to run a specific script for IE... can any1 help me with it?

Is that a syntax error I see: ` alert("aaa);` (missing close quote) — slebetman, Nov 05 '12 at 08:18
@zozo: This is question is unlikely to help anyone in the future (it's a simple typo), you might flag it and ask the moderators to remove it. — T.J. Crowder, Nov 05 '12 at 08:23
By the way @zozo, you should have got an error in the console for this script, did you look for errors? — gdoron is supporting Monica, Nov 05 '12 at 08:26

You have a syntax error in your Javascript. Try this:

<!--[if IE]>
<script type="text/javascript">
    alert("aaa");
</script>
<![endif]-->

Yeah, that was a miss-type :). Srry for lame question. Put some minuses into it so I learn to check my spelling before asking something ;). – zozo Nov 05 '12 at 08:20

@zozo: Definitely don't fix it in the question. – T.J. Crowder Nov 05 '12 at 08:23
I edited because I thought my " didn't work here but i had the same problem in the script. Need to change the keyboard. – zozo Nov 05 '12 at 08:24

Use the script to check if it's IE.
EDIT: actually check out some of the answers here, they're exactly what you want.
For example one person posted this solution which uses a very different approach

<script>runFancy = true;</script>
<!--[if IE]>
<script type="text/javascript">
    runFancy = false;
 </script> // <div>The HTML version for IE went here</div>
<![endif]-->
