PHP-like static html completion in JavaScript?

Question

is it possible to achive similiar results in JavaScript ? My aim is to not write static html within string literals.

<?php
    if (someCondition) {
?>
I'm here, because PHP allows it.
<?php
    }
?>

For example:

<script>
    if (someCondition) {
</script>
I'm here, because JavaScript allows it.
<script>
    }
</script>

I am aware of the following solution:

<p id = "variable">I'm here, because JavaScript allows it.</p>
<script>
    var p = document.getElementById('variable');
    if (!someCondition) {
        p.parentNode.removeChild(p);
    }
</script>

Answer 1

Nice thought, but it's not possible in the way you want it.

Every <script> element is evaluated as a JavaScript independent program, which will throw a syntax error in your case.

You'll have to generate the <p> element inside of your JavaScript.
