Try calling your select function using a timer delay from loadend event. 
I have found that sometimes events fire but the thread adding stuff to 
the DOM or something like that has not completed yet and adding a 
30-50ms delay before calling my code solved the problem.

Yeah, I know it ugly, but give it a try and see if it helps.
