Description
In IE6 and IE9 (not tested with IE8) when there browser is in the compatibility mode $(window).width() returns 0.
When the browser is in the standards mode $(window).width() works correctly.
NOT reproduced with jsfiddle because you can't change the DOCTYPE.
Use this NB: DOCTYPE is commented out
<!-- <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-W3CDTD HTML 4.01 TransitionalEN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.8.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function addWidth() {
var ww = $(window).width(); $("#wdResult").text("window width: " + ww + " document.compatMode: " + document.compatMode);
}
$(window).ready(function(e) {
addWidth();
});
</script>

You will see
