Something like this?

<script type="text/javascript"><!--function check(menu){if (menu.selectedIndex == 2) alert('Nope!')else alert('OK!');menu.selectedIndex = 0; //reset selection}//--></script><select onchange="check(this)"><option value="-">-</option><option value="1">1</option><option id="se2"value="2">2</option><option value="3">3</option><option value="4">4</option></select>

edit: added id se2 to get this work:document.getElementById('se2').disabled = 'disabled';to get element back to enabled:document.getElementById('se2').disabled = '';seems disabled is not working with MSIE? all real browsers it works ok.
