I found an internet explorer bug when performing an onclick function on an <option>

I have code like thus:

var $dropSelectMainCurrent = $('<select></select>').attr('id','dropSelectMainListCurrent');

var $mainListItems2 = $('.linksNameMain_0');

var $mainSelectListValues2 = new Array();

var $mainSelectList2 = new Array();

for (var i=0; i<$mainListItems2.length;i++)

{

$mainSelectListValues2[i] = $($mainListItems2[i]).attr("value");

$mainSelectList2[i] = $('<option></option>')

.text($mainSelectListValues2[i])

.attr('id','mainLinkOption')

.click(function() {

var $thisOptionText2 = $(this).text();

$('.'+$currentDropMenu).html($thisOptionText2+' Drop');

$('#dropSelectChosen').html($thisOptionText2+' Drop');

return false;

});

$dropSelectMainCurrent.append($mainSelectList2[i]);

}

$('#dropSelectMain').append($dropSelectMainCurrent).show();

The click function on this item to be appended works perfectly in Firefox but does not work in IE.
