I said “up to version 7”, so that includes version 7 itself too. The way
that I implement it is by use of conditional comments:
|<!--[if !IE]>-->
<script type="application/ecmascript">
// do something
</script>
<!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE]>
<script type="text/ecmascript">
// do something
</script>
<![endif]-->|
Alternatively, the following works if you want to combine embedded
scripts (with tracks for WIE and non‐WIE browsers):
|<!--[if !IE]>-->
<script type="application/ecmascript">
// <!--<![endif]--> <script type="text/ecmascript">
// do something
</script>|
Admittedly, this is extra work for something that seems to be mostly
cosmetic.
Hopefully, WIE8 will support the two new MIME types so that the
messiness above can eventually be done away with. (I’m not willing to
test pre‐release software on this computer to find out if this issue is
fixed in WIE 8 Beta 1 though.)
