Missing ) after condition error with js, if condition and symbols

If I include in my #main div a javascript code containing and if condition with < (less than) or > (greater than) symbols, like this

if (1 < 2) {
....
}

then in my console I have this error

SyntaxError: missing ) after condition
if (1 < 2) {

This is a bug right?
