Scroll wheel changes selection in drop-down menus

In some of the Questionmark quizzes I've made there are "selection" questions, which are simply pull down menus with several possible answers to a question. I started getting emails from scroll wheel users complaining that Questionmark was changing their answers.

Turned out they would make a selection, then immediately start scrolling the wheel without deselecting the menu, so the scroll wheel would scroll within the menu. I didn't want to disable the scroll wheel or something like that, so I looked for a way to jump the cursor out of the menu when something is selected.

Thank you to tommy916 on the devshed forums for the javascript: Unfocus on drop down list
