Head HTML appearing in page

I'm referencing some external scripts for =< IE8 like this:

<!--[if lte IE8]>
    <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/html5shiv/3.7.0/html5shiv.js"></script>
    <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/respond.js/1.3.0/respond.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

However, looking at my site in =< IE8, the files are referenced successfully, but I can literally the text: <!--[if lte IE8]><![endif]--> in the page, just above the body!

Is this a common error? The code is the last thing in my <head></head>.

It's a Ruby on Rails app and I'm using Bootstrap 3...

Try changing this:

<!--[if lte IE8]>
    <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/html5shiv/3.7.0/html5shiv.js"></script>
    <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/respond.js/1.3.0/respond.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

To this:

<!--[if lte IE 8]>
    <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/html5shiv/3.7.0/html5shiv.js"></script>
    <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/respond.js/1.3.0/respond.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

It's because there is no space between IE and 8. Remember to always put a space there in between.

Try putting a space between IE and 8, likewise: <!--[if lte IE 8]><![endif]-->

You need a space between 'IE' and the version number, it might be the cause.
