Indeed, the problem is related to the selected option not to the be the
first one, on the first time the object is *clicked*.
The problem is not exactly the selected parameter written on the body, but
the currently selected option in runtime.
To verify that, just add an onload event to body, and set the selected
option by code.
The *$(document).ready* code is run and binds the event *before* the *onload
* function is called to set the selection.
And yet the problem occurs:

I made a quick mock up of this to try to find the problem. As you have both
stated, the problem only occurs in IE (I only tried it on IE6). However, I
rewrote the following and this works on IE6. The problem seems to occur when
you add selected=selected to the second option value.

Hi all
I apologize if this problem has been post or report.
I have a problem using jQuery 1.4 when i use
$(#mySelect).change(function(){...my logic...})
This problem only occurs in IE. 6-8 all have the same problem and jQuery
1.3.2 does not have this problem.
This problem occurs when I bind a change event on a select and when
the
page is loaded the selected option is not the first one.
What will happen is when I click on the select and not even have a
chance to
choose my option, the change event is fired. But after the first
change,
things works normally.
i made a simple sample here:http://jsbin.com/apufa/
http://jsbin.com/apufa/edit
you will notice when you click on the select the alert will fire, but it
should only be fired when i actually change the option.
is this a bug?
Thanks
