Select Menu not displaying options - html

Question

I've created a simple select menu
<select class="element">
<option value="3">Read Only</option>
<option value="1">Editable</option>
<option value="2">Hidden</option>
</select>
However, when I click on the select menu, nothing happens.
I've attached an jQuery onclick listener to determine if the click is being registered and it is. However, the options are not being displayed.
Is there any particular reason why the options list would not be displayed?
CSS rules as requested:
select {
height: 25px;
background: #FFFFFF;
}
$('.element').on('click', function(){
console.log('clicked');
});

Check this code:

Try this on your css:
select {
height: 25px;
background: #FFFFFF;
}
$.noConflict();
$('.element').on('click', function(){
console.log('clicked');
});
Also I think that you have a Javascript or Jquery file that is making conflict, try creating this on your view:
<select class="element">
<option value="3">Read Only</option>
<option value="1">Editable</option>
<option value="2">Hidden</option>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">$.noConflict();</script>

Change your class name to something different. Then instead of using it as a class change it to an id. Then in your jQuery detect the on change event. Usually when having a select option you only need one of them. The id attribute is meant for when there is only one one of that element on a page.
I feel fairly certain that the click event does not work for all browsers on a select list. You may want to check out this question: Click event on select option element in chrome
HTML Code:
<select id="status">
<option value="3">Read Only</option>
<option value="1">Editable</option>
<option value="2">Hidden</option>
</select>
<select id="status">
<option value="3">Read Only</option>
<option value="1">Editable</option>
<option value="2">Hidden</option>
</select>
JavaScript Code:
$('#status').on('change', function(){
console.log('changed');
});
