click or change event on radio using jquery

I have some radios in my page,and I want to do something when the checked radio changes,however the code does not work in IE:

$('input:radio').change(...);

And after googling,people suggest use the click instead. But it does not work.

This is the example code:

<html>
    <head>
        <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            $('document').ready(
                function(){
                    $('input:radio').click(
                        function(){
                            alert('changed');   
                        }
                    );  
                }
            );

        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <input type="radio" name="testGroup" id="test1" />test1<br/>
        <input type="radio" name="testGroup" id="test2" />test2<br/>
        <input type="radio" name="testGroup" id="test3" />test3</br>
    </body>
</html>

It also does not work in IE.

So I want to know what is going on?

Also I am afraid if it will retrigger the change event if I click a checked radio?

UPDATE:

I can not add comment,so I reply here.

I use IE8 and the link Furqan give me also does not work in IE8. I do not know why...

This code worked for me:

$(function(){

    $('input:radio').change(function(){
        alert('changed');   
    });          

});

You can specify the name attribute as below:

$( 'input[name="testGroup"]:radio' ).change(

Works for me too, here is a better solution::

fiddle demo

<form id="myForm">
  <input type="radio" name="radioName" value="1" />one<br />
  <input type="radio" name="radioName" value="2" />two 
</form>

<script>
$('#myForm input[type=radio]').change(function() {       
    alert(this.value);
});
</script>

You must make sure that you initialized jquery above all other imports and javascript functions. Because $ is a jquery function. Even

$(function(){
 <code>
}); 

will not check jquery initialised or not. It will ensure that <code> will run only after all the javascripts are initialized.
