Code :
<select id="example">
<option value="38">Marco</option>
<option value="39">Hello</option>
</select>
$("#example> option").click(function () {
alert("ciao");
});
clicking on a drop down item, the alert is not showed… IE and Firefox no problems..
Use
$('#example').change(...)– selecting/clicking an element will change the value of the selectbox so that should work.
