The following code works for me. When I load the page in Firefox I see the alert instantly. When I first load the page in IE 8 it warns me about active content. If I allow the blocked content it asks me to confirm, which I do. Then the alert appears as expected. If this does not work for you, try IE 8 on a different computer or start eliminating code in your page to check for errors. You could do a binary search: comment out the first half of the page and see if the alert appears; if it still does not, then uncomment out the first half and comment out the second half. Repeat as needed until you've narrowed it down to the offending code. Incidentally you don't need XHTML for IE8 compliance. HTML works fine and actually has some advantages.
