Yes, with javascript.

However there are caveats.


If you actually do CHANGE the value displayed, then this code

<SELECT ...onchange="document.forms[0].submit()" >

will submit the form.

if there is only one <OPTION> element IN the select statement, this
doesn't work however. I have a workaround but its ugly.
