CSS now supports inline conditional logic through the new if() function in the 2025 W3C specification. This function allows developers to set different property values based on conditional tests using style queries, media queries, or feature queries. The syntax follows JavaScript's if-else pattern and can be used for tasks like theme switching, responsive design, and feature detection. Currently, Chrome and Edge support the function, while Safari and Firefox are still implementing it. This marks the first time CSS offers inline logic processing without requiring separate code blocks.
