I'm assuming that identification.birthdate is a field on a form...
Okay, having dots in your field names on forms will only cause you pain
;-)

Try this:

<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="indentification_birthdate:date">


> <!--#if expr="identification.birthdate > '08/01/2000' "-->

You should probably use the new DTML syntax too ;-)

Try replacing the above line with:

<dtml-if "indeficiation_birthdate > _.DateTime('01/08/2000')">

HTH,
