AddEventListener works in firefox but not chrome

This code works in Mozilla Firefox 31.0, but not in Google Chrome 38.0.2125.104 How to solve this problem?

Please note: Using change () or jQuery is not a parameter here!

<body>
    <select id="category">
        <option value="movies">Movies</option>
        <option value="artist">Artists</option>
        <option value="authors">Authors</option>
        <option value="chemistry">Chemistry</option>
    </select>
</body>

<script>
window.onload = initialise;
function initialise() {
    var options = document.getElementsByTagName('option');
    for (var i = 0; i < options.length; i++) {
        options[i].addEventListener("click", getQuestion, false);
        //console.log(i);
    }
}

function getQuestion() {
    console.log("getting question..");
}

</script>
</html>

I don't know why they are all optional, but aren't you looking for the on change function? So you can just get attached to it one day?

//Untested
var Category = document.getElementsById('category');
Category.addEventListener("change", getQuestion, false);


Also, if you don't mind jQuery you may need to learn it, it often gets rid of cross-browser issues. In JQuery:

 $('body').on('change', '#category', function() {
     getQuestion($(this));
 })

try this:



<script>
    window.onload = initialise();

    function getQuestion() {
        console.log("getting question..");
    }

    function initialise() {
        var Category = document.getElementById('category');
        Category.addEventListener("change", getQuestion, false);
    }

</script>
