title: How does $(document).ready() work in IE 8?
body: <p>I've recently installed IE 8 and can't seem to get the jquery $(document).ready event to fire.  Are there any special considerations that I'm missing?  Litterally, this is all I have in my html and it works as expected in Chrome and Firefox:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"&gt;
  &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;
  &lt;head runat="server"&gt;
      &lt;title&gt;Page full of awesomeness&lt;/title&gt;
      &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js" /&gt;
      &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;        
          $(document).ready(function() {
              alert("Hello?");           
          });
      &lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  
  &lt;body&gt;
  
  &lt;/body&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>In Internet Explorer, the page just loads without incident.  There's no alert box and I can't see any javascript errors reported.  Is this something normal that I just don't know about?</p>
