Why is :target pseudo class not working in IE?

I am making use of :target pseudo class but however it is not working in IE browser (7 and 8).

I used selectivizr javascript but its still not working.

So is there any other way to make it work? Is it possible by means of jQuery?

Just tried Selectivizr — worked for me in IE8! Not in IE7 though. Give edge release a try:

<!--[if (gte IE 6)&(lte IE 8)]>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://raw.github.com/keithclark/selectivizr/master/selectivizr.js"></script>
  <noscript><link rel="stylesheet" href="[fallback css]" /></noscript>
<![endif]-->

When using jQuery, instead of :target, you can just use $(location.hash) and, if it exists, that will be your :target element.

I think even Modernizr will not help you. The :target pseudo class is hard to detect by a workaround.

The :target pseudo class is supported only in IE9. Refer here
