I tried all the following and get no alerts:
$("select").keyup(function() {
alert("here1");
});
$("select").keydown(function() {
alert("here2");
});
$("select").keypress(function() {
alert("here3");
});
$("select").mousedown(function() {
alert("here4");
});
$("select").mouseout(function() {
alert("here5");
});
$("select").mouseup(function() {
alert("here6");
});
