issue with onChange in dynamic select list

Hello,
In the app we are building we've got an issue with a set of dynamic select lists. The selection in the first select list populates the content of the second select list. The javascript uses the onChange event handler making it impossible for me, using the keyboard to test, to get past the first item in the first select list because the postback to the page happens immediately. Continued use of the down arrow just navigates me down the page. I'm afraid this would be inaccessible to both screen readers and keyboard users.

I'm looking for advice on a solution.

Thank you,
