Is E=0 in super conductor also? I read in the below site that static electric field goes some depth into super conductor? Is this true? Classical physics says E=0 in conductor. so, what is the difference ordinary conductors and super conductors?

Did you read the article?

In an ideal conductor, there is no electric field. Same for a superconductor. Physical (super-)conductors are more complex. For example, you have a "skin" where there are a lot more dynamics than the bulk.
