by 'selected', do you mean focus ?
try this code:

<select name="select" size="3" onFocus="alert('I am selected');">
  <option value="item1">item1</option>
  <option value="item2">item2</option>
  <option value="item3">item3</option>
</select>
<select name="select" size="3" onFocus="alert('Now I am selected');">
  <option value="item1">item1</option>
  <option value="item2">item2</option>
  <option value="item3">item3</option>
</select>
