title: Conditional formatting tags not working in IE8
body: <p>I am currently working on a web development where I am now doing my formatting to please IE 8 or newer.  I have done this for previous browser versions, but not ie8.  My issue is that my conditional formatting tags are no longer working for this version of IE.  Has something changed?</p>
  
  <p>page: <a href="http://domain/includes/file.php" rel="nofollow">http://domain/includes/file.php</a></p>
  
  <p>css file: <a href="http://domain/css/cssIE8.css" rel="nofollow">http://domain/css/cssIE8.css</a></p>
  
  <p>the tag in my page is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;!-- [if gte IE 7]&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;Show this in IE&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;link href="../css/profileIE8.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /&gt;
      &lt;![endif]--&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I remove the conditional formatting tags, all the other browsers find the file just fine.  Any thoughts?</p>
  
  <p>I even placed the <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> tag in there to see if it would display in the page, it doesn't.  My understanding is that this specific conditional formatting tag would apply to all Internet Explorer versions NEWER than v7</p>
