document.querySelector in IE8 only recognized CSS 2.1 selectors and non special tags (html5 tags like section or article). To avoid this asap, you could use some library like jQuery: http://jquery.com/

I think the problem is the :checked selector, which is not supported in IE8

var els = document.querySelectorAll("input[type='radio']");
//need to loop els and find the checked item
for (var i = 0; i < els.length; i++) {
    if (els[i].checked) {
        repNumObject = els[i];
    }
}
