HTML IF Statement

I just wanna know how to do an if-statement in simple HTML. Like the [if IE6] thingy

I'd like to do something like this

[IF 5>6]

How's the syntax? I can't seem to find anything but [If!IE6] and things like that, is that even possible?

Thanks a lot

Edit: I want to compare just scalar numbers, cause I have a dynamically created HTML. For example [If 4 == 6]. I DON'T WANT TO CHECK IE VERSIONS.

If you insert Javascript into your code, then you can easily use the if statement. To insert you have to use script and /script

The closest thing I can think of is *NgIf or using ternary expressions in your html using angular - however, the assignment of the variables and the logic of that ngif statement would be done in javascript.

Not in HTML. Consider using JavaScript instead.

If you want to check for browser versions:

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
    <!-- For LOWER than IE7 -->
<![endif]-->

<!--[if IE 6]>
    <!-- For JUST IE6 -->
<![endif]-->

<!--[if gt IE 7]>
    <!-- For HIGHER than IE7 -->
<![endif]-->

Other than that, you cannot use if statements in HTML, as it is a markup language and not a programming language. You need to do it either server side or with Javascript.

[If lte IE 6]

This selects IE 5, 5.5 and 6. It's the closest to what you want.

The <!--[if IE]> syntax only works in Internet Explorer. You'll need to use javascript or css to conditionally display html in other browsers.

No, it's not possible. What you have seen is conditional comments in IE, which only checks version numbers of IE, and is typically used to inject IE specific style sheets to fix CSS bugs for that particular browser.

I believe this is the page you are looking for http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537512(v=vs.85).aspx

(I typed into google "IE conditional comments". It was the second result.)
