IE7.js and IE8.js make IE7 regress

If you try with one of the two scripts ie7.js or ie8.js linked on your web
page, to style an element by pointing its attributes having a value, you
will notice that it doesn'work in IE7 but works in IE6.

For example :

css :

img[alt="computer"] {border:2px solid red;}

html :

<img src="images/pc.jpg" alt="computer" width="100" height="100" />

Will render an image with a red border in IE6 but not IE7.

The same with img[alt=""] (However, it works with img[alt] without any values).

It works the same with the attribute title and src.

As a workaround, why not include the script conditionally for IE <7 only?

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script ... >
<![endif]-->
