Title: Feature/ie7

***DO NOT merge this pull request with master branch - commit f9e7699be229449f08bd0459bdc2af3e59a13142 and 13b35ffd14de9d47da8f05190f255fbcc785c728 disable all `` elements***

Let me know if you need me to re-submit the pull request after you create a new feature/ie7 branch

This pull request fixes most of the remaining IE7 compatibility issues, with the exception of the charts that are currently rendered using ``. It does NOT re-enable the canvas elements, and so can continue to be tested in IE7.

*Recommended next steps*

1. Merge the pull request to its own branch (feature/ie7)
2. Get a handful of people who know Loomio to work with the feature branch in IE7, trying to test each of Loomio's features.
3. Take notes of things that should be addressed, ideally with *#critical* and *#non-critical* tags
4. Develop a charting alternative that does not rely on ``, and serve that to IE users - I've used [Google Chart Tools](https://developers.google.com/chart/) in the past and they seem to work quite well.
5. Let me know when you're ready for me to have another bug-fixing session in which I can address the remaining issues.
