Don't fire onChange first time user selects an option
I'm trying to prevent the alert box in OnChange from firing when the page loads and a user selects his or her first option. After the first one selection, I do want the alert in the onChange to fire. This code doesn't seem to be working. Help?

<script language="javascript">
function save(i) {
if (i != 0) {
alert("****" + i);
}
i=1;
}
</script>
<BODY bgcolor=edede1 CLASS="MAINBODY" LINK=#003B72 VLINK=#003B72 TOPMARGIN=0 LEFTMARGIN=0">
<form name=form>
<select name="main" size="10" style="width:250px;" onchange="save(i);">
<option value=test></option>
<option value=test2></option>
</select>
