title: selectedOptions.length not working in Internet explorer but works properly in chrome and firefox?
body: <p>I have been working with <code>ui.multiselect.js</code> which is just similar to HTML Select:</p>
  
  <p>I wanted the length of the selected elements. So i had used the below code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var selectedOption =  document.getElementById('animalList').selectedOptions.length;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it seems <code>selectedOptions.length</code> is not working in IE but working properly in Chrome and Firefox</p>
  
  <p>Below are the alternatives i have already tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var select = document.getElementById('animalList');
  var len = select.options.length;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the result as 0.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#animalList :selected").length;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the result as 0.</p>
