Website javascript doesn't run on IE after first load of website

Question

When I clear my cache and I open a new session of IE, then navigate to the website I'm developing, the javascirpt/jQuery does not run. The site structure shows up fine, without any errors in the F12 console, but everything is rendered without any of my javascript plugins, breaking quite a few elements. Everything works fine in Chrome/Safari/Firefox/Mobile Browsers. Nothing I am outputting in the LOG gets rendered, so I'm assuming that all the JS is not getting run. When I refresh the page, everything works as it's supposed to. After that, it won't break until I clear my cache, close IE, and start a new session, like the experience of a first time user.

What could be causing the javascript to not run the first time? I'm having a hard time debugging, or finding similar issues.

javascript libraries I'm using:

jquery-1.8.2 min
scrollTo.js
reveal.js
slides.js
qtip.js

EDIT: Here is a link to the JS code I'm using

Can you show your code? Are you calling your startup functions in the $(document).ready() function? Any error in the console? — Toni Toni Chopper

Seeing the jQuery code you've written would help us pin down the problem. Help us to help you. — Rory McCrossan

It's difficult to answer your question without seeing your code. Can you give us the site URL? or post your page source code? — Muthu Kumaran

I edited the question to include a link to my source code. I didn't include it initially, because it is quite a bit of code to look through. — dremme

the actual html page that the files are included on would be helpful — John Boker

IE won't run console.log() unless the console window is open. So right now, your code will stop at that point on IE. Even thought you have the console window open, I've had issues where it just won't work. Try commenting it out.

Instead of commenting/uncommenting all the console-calls one can do something like: var console = console || {log: function () {}};
