This was mentioned as a good way to help w/some of IE’s issues.
I was wondering if:
Have you tried it?
does it work?
Where would you place it? the <head> section?
In a wordpress page?

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

thx all

I don’t know if I would say html5 shiv “help w/some of IE’s issues”. Per its ReadMe section on GitHub:

The HTML5 Shiv enables use of HTML5 sectioning elements in legacy Internet Explorer and provides basic HTML5 styling for Internet Explorer 6-9, Safari 4.x (and iPhone 3.x), and Firefox 3.x.

And if you looked at the html5shim page on Google’s site, it tells you:

It must be included before the <body> element (i.e. in the <head>)
