You could set all the options but the one you want selected to disabled.
I think how it will work in Mozilla is the select menu will still be a
drop down, but all the disabled options will be grayed out and not
selectable. I don't think IE will support this though. Of course, since
you'd be validating on the server side, users who could still select
something else would get a nice message telling them that valueB can only
be foo when valueA is bar, yes?
