You're using HTML5-specific tags -- IE9 doesn't yet support HTML5 very well.

Have to be careful with HTML5 and CSS3 tags. Had similar issues myself.

Try this javascript from html5shim google code site

place this in <head> element above CSS

Code:

<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

Now there's a link I'll have to check out; thanks, Shey. One thing: Since IE9 needs to be included in this shim shouldn't the if statement be:
<!--[if lte IE 9]>?

should not be 'equal' to IE 9 because of the enabling script triggered here
http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js

should exclude IE9 and then add some elements of html5

IMPORTANT:
if you are running additional scripts, make sure to call the html5.js script AFTER you call the initial jquery.js script.

NOTES:

the enabling script calls the minified version, simply put:

Code:

document.createElement('article'); // etc
