Nilesh, thanks for the advice.
I am no longer attempting to emulate click / dblclick events for <option>
elements, I have attached these events to the <select> instead as it's
obviously far better.
The problem is actually that in IE, the click / dblclick event handlers are
executed *before* the elements' attributes are updated, so I cannot work out
which element is actually selected.
I have tried using select.selectedIndex, the :selected pseudo-selector (on
the options) and @type=selected on the options, all of these yield the same
results that they provide the element selected before the click.

If you are messing around with Options and want to allow Double clicks
to them, then use the Select tag to do it on.
for example add the Dbl click action the the Main Select tag vs teh
Options tag, and use selectedIndex to findout what Options tag is
selected, and you should be table to move it from one Select to other
Select area.
I think someone made a plugin swapping items in side Select menu
(options , add ,drop,move) check the plugin page on jquery.com
so on the dblk click on Select tag, code would be soemething like...
(off top of my head, not 100% sure, get you get the idea..)
$(this).find('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').appendTo('#someOtherSelectTag');
so the above would look then select menu to find any item highlighted
and move them to another selece menu that has id=someOtherSelectTag
hope that help,
Nilesh
