querySelectorAll for anything less than IE8

(function(d){d=document,a=d.styleSheets[0]||d.createStyleSheet();d.querySelectorAll=function(e){a.addRule(e,'f:b');for(var l=d.all,b=0,c=[],f=l.length;b<f;b++)l[b].currentStyle.f&&c.push(l[b]);a.removeRule(0);return c}})()

Script looks very promising, but I can't seem to get it to work :(
Running it out of the box in IE7 throws
