Ok so I want to conditionally add this line of code;

<!--[if ! IE]> <embed src="logo.svg" type="image/svg+xml" /> <![endif]-->

Using:

document.getElementById("logo") .innerHTML='...';

In a if()/else() statement and it don't write it! If i get rid of the selective comment ( <!--[if ! IE]><![endif]-->) and only put the SVG ( <embed src="logo.svg" type="image/svg+xml" /> ) it work! what should I do?

I found a way around but i think in the Android browser the thing will pop up twice.

here's what I've done ( and its Validated stuff!);

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<META CHARSET="UTF-8">
<title>SVG Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
onload=function()
    {

        var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var isAndroid = ua.indexOf("android") > -1; //&& ua.indexOf("mobile");
if(isAndroid) {

        document.getElementById("logo").innerHTML='<img src="fin_palais.png"/>';

        }


    }
//]]>

</script>
</head>
<body>

    <div id="logo">
        <!--[if lt IE 9]>
            <img src="fin_palais.png"/>
        <![endif]-->

        <!--[if gte IE 9]><!-->

            <embed src="fin_palais.svg" type="image/svg+xml" />

        <!--<![endif]-->

    </div>

</body>
