[Javascript] IE verses the option element onclick event

[raanders at acm.org (Roderick A. Anderson)]

I just ran into this interesting non-feature of IE.  There is no onclick 
event for an <option /> ( it looks like IE 6 and older ).

Being new to serious Javascript'in I haven't found any example code to 
solve it.

My searching found some code that hints at the issue here.

What I'm trying to do is change an image next to the 'only' <select /> 
list in the document depending on which <option /> is selected.

Suggestions of where to look for a QaD answer of how to determine which 
<option /> was selected when the onchange event fires for the <select />.


TIA,
Rod
