It's a standards problem :-)

   onclick="javascript:get(this.parentNode);"

Select element events are focus, blur, and change - not click,
at least per the HTML4 spec.

I don't know if there's any similar HTML5 spec on elements and
required events.  But apparently other browsers have support for
`onclick` on a select.

Also, for inline handlers like this, you don't need to include
the "javascript:" - it's implied.

HTH!
