Ie8 Simple Alert Is Failing?
Solution 1:
Putting an onclick handler on an <option> element seems.... weird to me. You might want to switch that to the more common onchange event of the <select>. You can still do whatever you want to do from there, and this is the "accepted" way of doing whatever you want to do to the select. That being said, you might want to try removing the javascript: part of it. That is only needed when you are executing Javascript in a link href for example. An onclick handler expects javascript.

Solution 3:
All versions of IE (6,7,8) do not support ANY event handlers on the option elements.
This is a (fairly) well known bug that the IE team has indicated they are in no rush to fix. :-(
Then again Opera, Safari & Chrome all have limited or no support for event handlers on options too.
Lack of events on options: bug 280
(related) Lack of styles on options: bug 281
It should be noted that "Edge" (think IE12 on Windows 10) is currently showing that this issue is fixed in preview releases.
