Test in the select's onclick:

<html>
<head>
<title>optClick .htm</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function clicker(that) {
var pick = that.options[that.selectedIn dex].value;
if (pick == "2") alert("Hello World");
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<select name="sel" onclick="clicke r(this)">
<option value="1">One
<option value="2">Two
<option value="3">Three
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Option objects in MSIE have zero event handlers. Processing of
listboxes is generally done via the Select.onchange handler, and the
Select.selected Index property (which holds the index of the currently
selected option). Presumably you can accomplish whatever you need to
using this approach.
