You're not asking it to. :-) You're asking it to pop up an alert if
something is selected at the moment you're calling that code; you
haven't hooked up an event handler. To make it happen when something
is selected, you'll need to observe the 'change' event (probably).
You probably also want $('theme_choice') rather than $$
('#theme_choice')[1][2]. More here[3][4].
