If Else Syntax

Ok I have a problem..I made my own lil Folder link. It works for every artist for the project im working on right now. The problem arises with the hyperlink to AC/DC's albums. It treats AC and DC as folders.
so here is my sytax i want:
<if ARTIST = "AC/DC">
<a href="c:/Documents and Settings/Compaq_Administrator/My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/AC_DC/<!--[title/]-->" target="_blank">Open</a>
<else>
<a href="c:/Documents and Settings/Compaq_Administrator/My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/<!--[Artist/]-->/<!--[title/]-->" target="_blank">Open</a>
</if>
iTunes names the AC/DC folder AC_DC. In other words:
If Artist is named AC/DC
then c://blah/blah/AC_DC/album
If not named AC/DC
then c://blah/blah/Artist/Album
Except, it doesn't work that simple. I tried javascript but that doesn't work for me, the link never appears. I need a tag that works, Artist = "ac/dc" just doesn't work. Help me out
EDIT: I also tried using <!--[Artist]--> but that doesn't work because it ends the If syntax for some reason.

Hi RHDxSPAWNx,
You can't achieve this by using template language alone. You will need a combination of dax and javascript here. The IF syntax is very simple:
<dax:if(condition)>
...
<dax:else>
...
</dax:if>
...however, the condition can only be one field or macro variable. The only test possible is one that checks if the field is empty, or if macro variable is "true".
E.g.:
<dax:if(composer)> - tests if Composer field has anything in it.
<dax:if(single)> - tests if Single checkbox is checked.
What you need is approximately this:
<div id="acdc" style="display:none"> .... <div>
<div id="notacdc"> .... </div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var a = '<dax:artist/>';
if (a=='AC/DC') {
document.getElementById('notacdc').style.display=' none';
document.getElementById('acdc').style.display='';
}
</script>
