The following html code works in Firefox, but for some reason fails in IE (Label2 is not shown). Is that a bug or I miss something?
Any help would be appreciated.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
function setVis(){
var val = $("#check").is(":checked");
if (val)
$("#g_1").show();
else
$("#g_1").hide();
}
setVis();
$("#check").change(setVis);
});
</script>

<input type="checkbox" id="check" />

Change the .change event to .click event. the result in both browser is the same. in IE when you click the checkbox, blur didn't occur.
Remember that the onchange event is triggered after you check the checkbox and then leave the checkbox. Did you try checking it, then clicking somewhere else on the document?
You may want to employ the click and keypress events in jQuery instead (for checking the box via click and spacebar).

Is there any reason you're declaring/defining a function within your document ready paragraph, rather than outside of it?</sidequestion>
One more edit; may I recommend this sleeker code:
Cause:
Per MSDN, the change event is
Behavior for checkboxes is similar: in IE the event does not fire until focus is removed from the element (try it: click then tab off of the checkbox and behavior is as expected). Firefox apparently does not respect this distinction.
Solution:
Use the
click
event handler instead ofchange
:...and behavior should be consistent across browsers.
