Re: javascript onclick is not working in IE7 & IE6

plazmo is right about that. In IE6/7 (no idea about later versions) options can't really have individual onclick statements. However, a quick workaround can be put together.

Starting code...
Help with Code Tags 
<select>
     <option onclick="my javascript"></option>
     <option onclick="my javascript"></option>
     <option onclick="my javascript"></option>
</select>

In order to get that working, just change the onclicks to values, and add the onchange handler eval(this.value) and it will function almost identical to an onclick.

Help with Code Tags 
<select onchange="eval(this.value);">
     <option value="my javascript"></option>
     <option value="my javascript"></option>
     <option value="my javascript"></option>
</select>

It's the fastest way I know to make option onclick work in IE and Mozilla.
