Maybe try closing the option tag? <option class="parentMenu"></option>

I have this demo setup that is basically a modified "linked menus" application. When you select something from one menu, it updates the contents in it's child menu. For some reason Internet Explorer will not read the correct selector. I have tested the following: I've tried each of these selectors with and without "this". $(".parentMenu").click(); $("#parentMenu > .parentMenu").click(); $("#parentMenu > option").click(); This was the only one I got to trigger anything. $("#parentMenu").click(); The elements in question here are: <select class='selectMenu' id='parentMenu'> <option class='parentMenu'> </select> My question is: Why do all the other browsers recognize the content within the <select> except internet explorer. It seems like it won't call any of the option elements, whether they're created by script or loaded fresh from the server. Any ideas??
