h:selectOneMenu breaking up in IE 9

[B Nirvan]

Hi,
I have a h:selectOneMenu which works well on IE 8 and Google chrome. Recently, I tested the code on IE 9 and the h:selectOneMenu is breaking up. Here is the code for the h:selectOneMenu tag that I am using.

                            <h:selectOneMenu id="stateList" value="#{donorSearchBean.stateId}" >
                                <f:selectItems value="#{donorSearchBean.stateList}"/>
                                <f:ajax event="change" execute="f:stateList" listener="#{donorSearchBean.refreshCitiesAndAreas}"
                                        render="f:cityList f:areaList f:searchBtn"/>
                            </h:selectOneMenu>

The f:ajax tag inside h:selectOneMenu is supposed to refresh cityList, areaList but that doesn't happen. Instead these selectOneMenu lists retain their old values.

I am using Mojarra 2.0.2 with netbeans and glassfish server 3.

regards,
Nirvan.
