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:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN' 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'> <html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'> <head runat='server'>     <title>Page full of awesomeness</title>     <script type='text/javascript' src='~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js' />     <script type='text/javascript'>                 $(document).ready(function() {             alert('Hello?');                    });     </script> </head>  <body>  </body>

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?

    <script type='text/javascript' src='~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js' />

    Into this

    <script type='text/javascript' src='~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js'></script>
