jQuery Click/Change event not working properly in IE7/8

I am binding an event to a checkbox's change or click event which works fine in Firefox but in IE I have to click anywhere else (causing the blur) event before the event is fired.

I have read and believe this is down to the way IE fires the events, but is there anyway I can get round it?

The whole point is that it is a smooth search feature which doesn't need a search button to be clicked

$('#sidebar .itemSearchModule-Form input[type=checkbox]').click(function() {
    $('#sidebar .itemSearchModule-Form .saveButton').click();
});

Paolo Bergantino was right so this answer credit should go to him.

It seems my code was all screwed up and another selector was getting tied up with the sample I used above.

The CLICK event does work in IE I can confirm, if you are suffering the same problem ALL I can suggest is you check your code

try giving that checkbox a class like chkbx and try:

$('.chkbx').click(function() { etc...

its just for debuggin your selector.. being sure problem is in the action. i think for IE you need to use GetElementByID.

The change event requires a blur to happen first. The Click event should not. You could always force a blur event if you wanted by $(elem).blur()
