Why does select box on mac chrome doesn't respond to click event? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Use the change event instead:

$('.social-option select').on('change', function () {
    alert('bla');
});

From the documentation:

The change event is sent to an element when its value changes. This event is limited to elements, boxes and elements. For select boxes, checkboxes, and radio buttons, the event is fired immediately when the user makes a selection with the mouse, but for the other element types the event is deferred until the element loses focus.

IIRC, the click event works for <option>s in Firefox, however does not work in Chrome. The best, most supported event is change.

To get the value of the option selected, simply use .val() as you would with any other input:

$('.social-option select').on('change', function () {
    alert($(this).val());
});

Answer 2

Instead of the "click" event, use "change", as in

 $(".social-option select").change(function(){
       alert('bla');    
    });
