title: IE Conditional Statement to disable a specific script (IE8 only)
body: <p>I'm a complete newbie/rookie in web design, but I have come across an issue for one of my sites that I'm currently designing. I saw that 2 similar questions were posted on stackoverflow (one being spot on), but I wasn't able to discern the answer...probably because I'm not very advanced.</p>
  
  <p>I want to know...is there a way to disable a specific script within an IE8-only conditional statement?</p>
  
  <p>Let me explain: I have a rounded corner script that works absolutely beautifully in Firefox, Safari, and IE9. However in IE8, if the background of the parent div is an image (which they all are in this case), the rounded corners fail to appear transparent and instead show as annoying little white fill. (My site is <a href="http://gkplusjm.com" rel="nofollow">http://gkplusjm.com</a>) </p>
  
  <p>I was able to find some great CSS code that I could implement for IE8, and I have successfully done so in a ie8.css file through a IE conditional statement. I know it works because when I removed the corner script completely and viewed the page with the ie8.css, it was acceptable enough for my liking. However, I put the script back in so it would function on all other browsers, and the problem reared its head again. So what I really need is to find a way to disable that script, but only if the viewer is using IE8. Seems simple enough, but I can't find the fix. Some of the codes I have tried include:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!--[if lt IE 9]&gt;
  &lt;script src="scripts/jquery.corner.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;![endif]--&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and also this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!--[if !(IE 8)]&gt;&lt;!--&gt;
  &lt;script src="scripts/jquery.corner.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script&gt;
      // your inline script goes here
  &lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;!--&lt;![endif]--&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Option #2 seemed to have worked for the other person who posted this question, but I couldn't figure out what to put in the part that reads "your inline script goes here" to make this disable work.</p>
  
  <p>Any advice is appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks,</p>
