If something is possible , that does not mean it is feasible ... In the conext of jQuery, one can do a lot of kind-of-a "if then else" logic through selectors and scope (aka context). Especially with the help of plugins like : http://plugins.jquery.com/project/EnhancedAttributeSelectors (side note: (mildly) interesting discussion can be found here : http://james.padolsey.com/javascript/a-better-data-selector-for-jquery/ )
Also, don take it as a sarcasm but there is still good old, if-then- else javascript construct available ... Last, but not the least: never underestimate importance fo the readability of the code.
