No, although Netscape's HTML reference lists 
  onclick 
as an event handler for the
  SELECT
element it is not supported in NN4 (at least on win platform where I 
checked).
All you can use with NN4 with a SELECT element is
  onblur
  onfocus
  onchange
NN6 like IE4/5 supports onclick for SELECT elements. NN6 even allows to 
identify the OPTION clicked as the following example demonstrates:
  <FORM NAME="aForm">
  <SELECT NAME="aSelect" MULTIPLE
      ONCLICK="alert(event.target.text);"
  >
  <OPTION>Kibo
  <OPTION>Maho
  </SELECT>
  </FORM>
