You are right, but in this case, I had no way of knowing if my problem came 
from the javascript or the CSS, or possibly both.

I'm using nwmatcher with selectivizr because jquery has incomplete support (and 
is missing things I need). I know that makes for a lot of js for IE 6/7/8 but 
it's that or nothing. Anyway, this is just a test run. I'll get into 
optimization later.

Yes, that is the point. IE less than 6 doesn't see the stylesheets that are 
served to all other browsers. Actually, this is something that is a holdover 
from a site that was made a few years ago, when IE 5 and 5.5 were still around 
and I had decided that enough was enough for those two. So I suppose I could 
remove it now, since hopefully IE 5 and 5.5 are dead and buried. I'm still 
trying to cater to IE6, but my latest tests cause it to crash on a regular 
basis. I haven't decided what I'll do about that yet.

It's a bit difficult trying to do "mobile first" and still serve a desktop site 
to IE < 9. But it's been difficult with IE for years...

I think you are right and I should go elsewhere with my problem.

Thanks for your time.
