I normally would have an item at the start of the list such as [Select Value]. Then you test for selectedIndex > 0

A:
The DOM tree is something like
Select
|-option
|-option
`-option
it is not the select node which can be selected. As such, you need to get the select, browse the childs, and test if the child is selected until you find one.
