Answer 1

document.getElementById('options').ondblclick = function () {
       var optio = options.options;
var id      = options[options.selectedIndex].id;
   if(id == "optList1")
   {
      alert("abc");
   }
   else 
   {
      alert("xyz")
   }
};


<select name="options" id="options" style="width: 100%;" size="12">
    <option id="optList1" value="1.1">
        2. Enter/Update W/H Data Manually
    </option>
    <option id="optList2" value="1.1">
        1. Enter/Update W/H Data Manually
    </option>

Try this code its working fine on IE

Answer 2

IE does not support events on <option> tag.

Also seems strange to consider a doubleclick event on <option> as this is not anything most users would be used to doing
