Click event on select option element in chrome

I don't believe the click event is valid on options. It is valid, however, on select elements. Give this a try:

$("select#yourSelect").change(function(){
    process($(this).children(":selected").html());
});

We can achieve this other way despite of directly calling event with <select>.

JS part:

$("#sort").change(function(){

    alert('Selected value: ' + $(this).val());
});

HTML part:

<select id="sort">
    <option value="1">View All</option>
    <option value="2">Ready for Review</option>
    <option value="3">Registration Date</option>
    <option value="4">Last Modified</option>
    <option value="5">Ranking</option>
    <option value="6">Reviewed</option>
</select>
