onclick on option not working on IE or safari

[James Black]

I have a select box that uses onclick on each option tag.

This works fine in firefox, but not in IE or Safari.

I don't know if I should use onblur for each option.

I don't want to use onchange for the select, as I want any of the
options selected to be reacted to.

The user is selecting for one one of three dates (start of semester,
end of semester, use calendar). I could just put a blank option as the
default option, so that the other three options will fire onchange.

I am hoping that someone can help me to better understand how to
approach getting this to work properly.

Thanx.

Don't do that. Put the onclick on the select and look at the selected
option - it may require additional work for a multiple select.

I will try that in the morning.

I didn't think about putting the onclick on the select box. Thank you.

Thankfully it is just a single-select, so it shouldn't be too much
coding. :)

You should also check how it behaves if keyboard navigation is used -
tab to select, up/down arrow to modify.
