WCMmode in conditional comments

Hi All,

I am using conditional comment to check browser version.

Is there a way to check wcmmode of the instance in conditional comments?

I want to show the message in author/edit mode.

Following is my piece of code in component:

<!--[if lt IE 9]> 

  <div class="upgrade-browser-banner" role="alert">

         <h4>upgrade your browser message</h4> 

  </div>

<![endif]-->

i tried the following but it's not working:

<!--[if (lt IE 9) | (WCMmode.edit) ]>

Please Help.

Hi,

As fieke suggest please use data-sly-test to check the different mode.

please check this link:

HTL counterpart of this would have same impact I believe:

<div data-sly-test="${wcmmode.edit}">

I am using AEM 6.3.

As per client standards, we cannot use scriplets in html files.

I dont have IE browser but I tested it on non IE and it works...

<%if(WCMMode.fromRequest(request) != WCMMode.EDIT){%>

<!--[if lt IE 9]>

<%}%>

  <div class="upgrade-browser-banner" role="alert">

        <cq:include path="alertMessage" resourceType="foundation/components/text"/>

  </div>

<%if(WCMMode.fromRequest(request) == WCMMode.EDIT){%>

<![endif]-->

    <%}%>

I tried that but if the browser is above IE 9, its not allowing authors to edit the component.

Ok. understood... then one thing you can probably do is to have this conditional comment inside WCMmode.edit.. i mean just the if line and end-if line

I want it to be available in author mode to be edited even if the browser satisfies the condition in 'if' block.

I dont think you can check it inside the conditional comment. The check should work if you do it in body of condition...
