I've done this using a combination of things. I think onClick gets fired if you change the value - even using keyboard, and believe this works accross browsers.
I had onClick fill in a hidden field, and submit the form. The validate method notices this, and throws back a single empty actionerror, and not continue. This causes it to get redisplayed with the correct stuff selected!
