[jQuery] CLick event for Select Box not supported by IE

[Pedram]

Dear folk ,
 I have a select box with Multiple Options
Such as below
<Select class="actions">
  <option value="NEW">New/Edit</option>
  <option value="a">1</option>
  <option value="b">2</option>
  <option value="c">3</option>
</select>

I wanted to bind a Click event to the select box , so when ever we
Click on the Option with the NEW value
alert box appears this is my code

$("select.actions option[value=NEW]").click(function(){
  alert("worked");
});

this works in Firefox no problem I have problem in IE it doesn't work
without any error it seems .CLICK is not supported by IE for
Selectboxes , I also checked the .Change Worked

$("select.actions").change(function(){
  if($(this).find("option[value=NEW]")
    alert("worked");
});

But does anyone have an Idea or solution for me
Thanks
