```auto

<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="blahblahblah
<![endif]-->

```

so i figure the above works, however I’m a mac user and I don’t have access Internet Explorer to test my question:

could the above conditional work for javascript as well?

```auto

<!--[if IE]>
<script language="javascript" href="shadowbox.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

```

like so? I’m being told that shadowbox just ruins some of the other javascript (in IE only) on a site I’m working on. I would much rather just not include it than use another detection with a workaround.
