option tags are closed, i just didn't write them in here... @MorningZ:
What I'm trying to do is update a second select box with options that are specific to options in the first box. Basically, a linked menus program. What was happening was all browser except IE were handling the event function just fine. IE wasn't recognizing any of the selectors *above*, except the #parentMenu (by itself). I basically got something to work, so now I'm just after information. Why does IE ignore JQuery notation for handling child (classes or elements)? You wrote " >option['parentMenu'] "... what is this notation called?
