FP Changes My HTML

I found the following snipet of code that allows me to test for a non-IE
browser. It works as advertised but causes FP 2002 to do some strange things
to my html.

<!--[if !IE]><!-->
<h1>You are NOT using Internet Explorer</h1>
<!--<![endif]-->

When placed in the <head> section, FP moves the </head> to after the </body>
and does not insert code for the theme or shared border.

If I remove the just the above code the </head> remains where it should be
and the theme and shared border work (code is inserted). It would appear that
FP does NOT recognize the above construct as valid code. Why?
 
When placed in the said:
</body>
and does not insert code for the theme or shared border.

That snippet of code doesn't belong in the head section of the page. It
and that's what FP is trying to tell said:

It's not valid in the head.

OK -- Is there another way to conditionally define css other than what I now
have:

<!--[if !IE]><!-->
<style type="text/css">
/* to make it work in Safari */
..menu2 ul li:hover ul li a:active img {
background:#aaa;
position:relative;
outline:none;
}
</style>
<!--<![endif]-->

In the <head> section of the page:

<![if !IE]>
<style type="text/css">
/* to make it work in Safari */
..menu2 ul li:hover ul li a:active img {
background:#aaa;
position:relative;
outline:none;
}
</style>
<![endif]>

When I do as you suggest it resolves the FP issue but the code no longer
works in IE or Mozilla Firefox. It appears that the code may be executed in
IE; no sure what happens in Firefox.

IE conditional comments are only supported by IE (which is why they are
called IE conditional comments, I suppose).

What are you expecting to achieve with this?

If you have FireFox set to use the IE engine, you should not see anything,
since the code says "If you are using IE, then do not display the next
line. If you are NOT using IE, then display the next line."
In FireFox, make sure the icon on bottom right corner of the browser window
is the FireFox icon - then you should see the text. If it shows the IE
icon, the text will not be shown.

I have my page layout defined in an external css. If the browser is not IE I
need to modify my layout slightly to make it work, hence the <!--[if
!IE]><!-->.

If you start the conditional comment with <!--[if !IE] then every browser
will ignore it.
IE will see the code as a conditional comment, and ignore everything up to
the [endif]. Other browsers will see an HTML comment and ignore everything
as well.
