IE probably totally fails to recognize the "class" set on an <option>
tag, you *may* try
$("#parentMenu > option[parentMenu]").click();
regardless if that would or wouldn't work, what are you trying to
accomplish? simply setting the value of the <select> object and
firing off whatever "click()" would do would be a way to avoid all IE/
<option> issues
