Hack for Infinite Scroll not working on IE 8

jQuery(document).ready(function() {


/*
 * A IE javascript detection function from:
 * http://james.padolsey.com/javascript/detect-ie-in-js-using-conditional-comments/
 */
var ie = (function(){

    var undef,
        v = 3,
        div = document.createElement('div'),
        all = div.getElementsByTagName('i');

    while (
        div.innerHTML = '<!--[if gt IE ' + (++v) + ']><i></i><![endif]-->',
        all[0]
    );

    return v > 4 ? v : undef;

}());

/*
 * Now using the function above, stop the infinitescroll javascript from operating.
 * Notes:
 *  - Change "#main_blog" to the "Content Seletctor" your are using under your Infinite Scroll settings
*   - Use a "try" in case we are not on a page where the infinitescroll javascript is not loaded.

 try
  {
    if (ie < 9 ) {
        $("#main_blog").infinitescroll("pause");
    }
  }
catch(err)
  {
  //Handle errors here
  }
