[Javascript] IE verses the option element onclick event

[Brian L. Matthews]

><select />.

Given

sel = document.getElementById('selectElementId');

then sel.selectedIndex is the the index into sel.options of the 
currently selected option. So when onchange fires on the select 
element, sel.options[sel.selectedIndex] is a reference to the Option 
instance of the selected option.

And as an aside, I don't know that onchange on the option not firing 
is a bug. The value of the option isn't changing if you select it or 
select a different one, it's the value of the select that's changing, 
so I'd expect its onchange to fire, as it does.

Hope this helps.
