hi! here's an idea.

given a dropdown box named mydropdownbox:

if (mydropdownbox.selectedIndex == -1) {
    // statements that will be executed if nothing is selected
else { 
    // statements that will be executed if something is selected
}

use the selectedIndex property of the dropdown box to check for the 
selected item. if there is no selected item, selectedIndex will return -1 
where as if first item is selected, selectedIndex returns 0 and so on.
