[jQuery] $(window).resize event does not fire in IE8


Hey Guys - I am posting this question a second time and apologize if
someone answered it in the other thread - I cannot find the post
anywhere on this list.
$(window).resize(function(){
alert("Stop it!");
});
Is not firing in IE8 - this is the exact sample code provided at:
http://docs.jquery.com/Events/resize#fn
Any Ideas?
