IE7 + HTML5 + jQuery Selector

IE7 + HTML5 + jQuery Selector

Honestly, I'm not sure if this pertains specifically to jQuery or not.

I've got a simple test page that has an <input type="color" ...> element on it, using the mColorPicker plugin.

My JS is as so:
  1. if ($("input[type='color']").length) {
        $.getScript("assets/js/mColorPicker/mColorPicker.js");
    }

The problem is, the input[type='color'] selector is not returning any elements in IE7, so $.getScript is never fired.  I've got a theory as to why this is happening, but would like to hear your ideas.

P.S. I am using html5shiv (Not that I think it makes any difference in this case.)
