not working for me in ie8 as far as font sizes go...at any measurement(em, px, 
pt - etc). except for - and this is really odd - if i copy an embed code from 
youtube. i'll spare the whole code. but lets just say I use 
....STYLE TYPE="text/css" >
@media only screen and (min-width: 800px) and (max-width: 1212px) {
    body{
        font-size:25px; 
    }
}
@media only screen  and (min-width: 640px) and (max-width: 799px) {
    body{
        font-size:12px; 
    }
}
</STYLE>
<SCRIPT SRC="css3-mediaqueries.js" ></SCRIPT>
.............................................

...BODY>
hello world i am testing media queries with text blah blah blah
</body>
</html>
^^^^^^^^^^this doesn't work in ie8

however : this WILL work :
...BODY>
hello world i am testing media queries with text blah blah blah
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/diHk7xJAmD0" 
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</body>
</html>

and i'm doing work for a client requesting this feature on a wordpress site. I 
actually went through the pages and created an invisible div with a youtube 
embed in it just so i wouldn't have to scrap all my precious mediaqueries work

attached is my testing file. I'm using windows 7 btw. I use the ie developer 
tool to preview ie8 mode.  client is on XP with ie8. client verifies testing 
that the youtube embed fixes mediaqueries(after I put in the youtube junk)

please help

mediaqueries-js ia not goingf to work on ie 7/8 but you can use the 1140
responsive grid, and your measurements can not be in pixels if you are
going for a responsive design, they have to be in percentages.

What is it for if it doesn't work in IE7/8?

I suggest you use respond.js instead, works really well just make sure your 
browser is not in quirks mode - this drove me crazy for hours!

It works fine in ie7 and 8, particularly if you use an absolute path to the js 
file. 

<!--[if lt IE 9]><script 
src="http://domainname.com/assets/js/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

<!--[if lt IE 9]><script 
src="http://domainname.com/assets/js/css3-mediaqueries.js"></script><![endif]-->

and you make sure your .htaccess resolves to the domain name without the www

I would also test on http://browserstack.com/, the preview tool and other tools 
to have more than one ie version can be freaky, especially with forms.

Try using @media screen and (max-width: 767px)

Instead of placing the HTML file (obviously with css3-mediaqueries.js linked to 
the head tag) on the local machine, place it on the server and then request it. 
When I run the HTML file locally, it doesn't work. But when I request the same 
from the server it works absolutely fine.

Back from the dead... There is a new version of the script. It has some CSS 
parsing and processing improvements. If you're still using it, or would like to 
try again, could you confirm that this issue is solved or not?
