A:
Regardless of input type, whenever a form input changes value, an onchange event should always be thrown. (With the exception of buttons, as they are not really input devices as such.)

Worth noting that when you're using a <select>, the event is fired immediately on selection, whereas with something like a text input, it's not fired until you move off the field. Checkboxes and radio buttons are fiddly with onchange, so it's best to use onclick for those.

A:
It's onchange Event.
With jQuery it could be used like this
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.2.6.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#list").attr("selectedIndex", -1);
$("#list").change(function()
{
$("#answer").text($("#list option:selected").val());
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="answer">No answer</div>
<form>
Answer
<select id="list">
<option value="Answer A">A</option>
<option value="Answer B">B</option>
<option value="Answer C">C</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>

The world is not jQuery. Probably best to respond with a generic JS response if the O.P. didn't explicitly ask for jQuery.
