IE7/8 Checkbox column header: cannot add click() listener on checkbox

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a table, and in one of the header cells put a checkbox
2. Transform the table into a flexigrid via $().flexigrid();
3. Try to add a basic click listener on the checkbox in the header
4. In Internet Explorer 7/8 [also maybe 6] the click listener isn't called when 
the checkbox in the header is clicked

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When the checkbox in the header is clicked, nothing happens.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The latest version: v1.1

Please provide any additional information below.

Like this (very basic example):

<table class="flexme1">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th><input id="cb1" type="checkbox" value="1" /></th>
            <th>Non-checkbox</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>cell1</td>
            <td>cell2</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

The table is converted into a Flexigrid afterwards.
