Problem with jquery handling checkboxes in IE8

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

From stackoverflow

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

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

  That works for me in IE8.

  Paolo Bergantino : Fixed your answer, :checkbox alone is not recommended...

  peirix : thank you, good sir (:

• Try this

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

• A workaround:

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

  peirix : this would hit radio buttons as well, though...
