    <!--[if (gte IE 6)&(lte IE 8)]>
      <script src="selectivizr.js"></script>

    Selectivizr only works when your page is in strict mode. Because you haven’t given your page a doctype declaration, it’s loading in Quirks mode, which means Selectivizr hasn’t loaded.

    Simply add <!DOCTYPE html> before your opening html tag, and Selectivizr will work.
