How to put condition in HTML Component

I have HTML component, I have used $MODEL to fetch the datum value.

I need to check the value of the datum. If the value of the datum is not empty then I need to put html code.

I have checked the guide but not found any where which solve my problem. I found $IF_MODEL{} token but it doesn't solve my problem.

below is the code where I need to check the condition:
I need to check if $MODEL{/Properties/Data/Datum[@Name='ProductList']/DCR/products/DCRName is not empty then the below code go into the condition.

[html]

— Select Product

[/html]

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

$IF_MODEL's purpose is exactly for this. You have to use it like this:
[PHP]
$IF_MODEL{/Properties/Data/Datum[@Name='ProductList']/DCR/products/DCRName!='',

— Select Product

}
[/PHP]

You'll be lucky if nothing in that mess breaks down. The real answer is if you wanted to do more complex conditional logic, you should've gone with XSL.

Use XSLT. Clearlt written in the guide, if you need some conditional logic, your appearance portion of the componet, needs to be xslt based.
