How do I bind a function to the HTML5 localStorage change event using jQuery?

$(function () {

  $(window).bind('storage', function (e) {
    alert('storage changed');
  });

  localStorage.setItem('a', 'test');

});

I've tried the above but the alert is not showing.

Update: It works in Firefox 3.6 but it doesn't work in Chrome 8 or IE 8 so the question should be more 'How to bind to localStorage change event using jQuery for all browsers?'
