else in an IE HTML conditional

Question

In my site I have an IE HTML conditional like this :

<!--[if lte IE 8]>
      <p class="browsehappy">You are using an <strong>outdated</strong> browser. Please <a href="http://browsehappy.com/">upgrade your browser</a> to improve your experience.</p>
      <![endif]-->

..... the rest code of the html page

when I run my web page in IE 8 I only want the code inside the condition to be displayed and I dont want to display the rest of the web page.

How can I do that ?

Edit 1

When I tried this :

<!--[if gt IE 8]>

...My code

<![endif]-->

It didnt work when I run my web page on firefox or chrome.

I would prefer to use PHP for this action:

<?php if(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') && preg_match('/(?i)MSIE [6-8]/',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { ?>
<p class="browsehappy">You are using an <strong>outdated</strong> browser. Please <a href="http://browsehappy.com/">upgrade your browser</a> to improve your experience.</p>
<?php } ?>

A faked or filtered HTTP_USER_AGENT on IE is imho very unlikely.

Adding hyphens (--) makes it a Downlevel-hidden conditional comments which makes downlevel browsers (any browser or browser version that doesn't support conditional comments) ignore the HTML content inside the comment block - if the statement is true

Use the Downlevel-revealed conditional comments instead by removing the hyphens:

<![if gt IE 8]>

...Your content

<![endif]>
