input (checkbox) not working in IE8 when configured with :checked

Question

For my checkbox (following), I used the JQuery condition (:checked) to check if the checkbox is clicked on. It works fine in all the browsers but just doesn't work in IE8. Any idea or assistance?

<input type="checkbox" id="chbx" name="samechbx" onchange="checkbox_changed(this)" />

JS

function checkbox_changed(el) {

        if ($('#chbx').is(":checked")) {
            //if checked, move in.
        }
}

Which version of jquery are you using?

This older post explains, that in IE8 and older the change and onchange event is only executed on submit. This means you should go with the onclick event and should be fine:
