Problem with jquery handling checkboxes in IE8

Question

I am using jquery to locate all the checkboxes in a table column that are checked. For that purpose I am using the following code:

$("input[type=checkbox][checked]").each(function () {
    //Do Stuff
});

This works fine in Firefox 3 but does not work in IE8 or Safari. Can anyone explain why and/or provide a workaround?

EDIT: I'm using jQuery v1.3.2

try $("input[type=checkbox]:checked").each...

Edit or even sweeter: $("input:checkbox:checked").each...

That works for me in IE8.

A workaround:

$("input:checked").each(function() {
    //Do Stuff
});

Try this

$("input:checked").click(function () {
    alert('abc');
});
