</head>
<body>
<select name='select'>
<option onclick="redirect('url1');">Points</option>
<option onclick="redirect('ur2');">VIP</option>
<option onclick="redirect('ur3');">Bank</option>
<option onclick="redirect('url4');">Lottery</option>

IE does not support events in OPTION elements. You should use onchange applied upon the SELECT parent element:

Code:

<select name="select" onchange="redirect(this.value)">
<option value="url1">Points</option>
<option value="url2">VIP</option>
<option value="url3">Bank</option>
<option value="url4">Lottery</option>
<option value="url5">Bold Username</option>
</select>
