Have you had a look at the .selected or .selectedIndex properties of the
options list? No idea if this will work or if it is even good style, I
just spotted these properties on my Visibone Javascript card.

BTW you might want to consider alternate content (e.g. "Sorry, this page
requires JavaaScript") for users w/o Javascript. I run with it off and
it confused me that there was nothing clickable on the page.
