IE-only JavaScript not working?

I was having trouble getting my IE only stylesheet to load, so I settled for some IE only inline javascript.

But this isn't working either. Could someone have a look at my code and tell me what I'm doing wrong? I currently have it placed in a script tag at the end of my html document right above the my closing html tag.

Here is my code: 

<script> 

if ($.browser.msie && $.browser.version < 8) {
    // IE 7 or older
    $('.sidecolor, .EDGE-15678806, .edge-wrapper').css("display", "none");
    $('.MobileBanner').css("display", "block");

} else {
    // all other browsers
    $('.sidecolor, .EDGE-15678806, .edge-wrapper').css("display", "block");
    $('.MobileBanner').css("display", "none");
}

</script>

First of all, I suggest you use this as a simple test, you can insert your code between the script tags once you see this working for you:

<!--[if lt IE 8]>
<script>
    alert("This is some version of IE, either 7 or below, so very not awesome!);
    /*Your code here*/
</script>
<!--[if (gte IE 8) | (!IE)]><!-->
<script>
    alert("This is some version of IE, either 8 or above, much better!);
    /*Your code here*/
</script>
<!--<![endif]-->

Let me know if this helped. If it did not then it could have something to do with your elements or your CSS styling and that is another question entirely.
