IE9 +Older HTML Multiupload Input Fallback

I have a web application and most of the users use IE 11 there is no problem with multiply file upload. My problem is that some users use IE 9 and older (HTML5 input type file's multiple attribute not working in IE?) there I cant use it.

I need something like "Conditional comments" for it, but with it, it wont work because IE11 ignores it.

In need something in my html like this:

if(Multiupload supports){
 <multiply input tag> 
}else{
 <single input tag>
}

Is there a way to choose the upload method browser specific?

Thank you for your help

If you're not using something that will allow you to write conditional logic in HTML (such as PHP, AngularJS, Handlebars, ect...) then you will not be able to write a conditional statement based off of a Multiupload variable like the example you provided.

The Pure HTML Way

Since we know that the multiple upload will not work in Internet Explorer 9 or 8, you can use IE Conditional Comments to switch between single or multiple upload, depending on the browser version.

<!--[if (!IE 8)|(!IE 9)]><!-->
  <p>Not IE8, or IE9. Multiple Upload</p>
<!--<![endif]-->

<!--[if (IE 8)|(IE 9)]>
  <p>IE8, or IE9. Single Upload</p>
<![endif]-->

This will show the single upload for IE 9 and lower, and the multiple upload for everything else.
