Populating an ASP.NET label with a selection made from a ListBox using a client script. (JavaScript, etc.)

I have a label called Label1 and a Listbox called ListBox1 on an ASP.NET web form.
I am populating Listbox1 with 4 options on the page load event in my code behind.
When the selection in Listbox1 changes, I want this change to be reflected in Label1 by assigning the text value of Label1 to the selection.
I want this action to be performed on the client side only.

How?
TIA

with firefox, do a right on your Listbox1, choose inspect element and post the HTML for this listbox1 here.
else just post the whole body part.

How about I just post my code so far...

<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="test2.aspx.vb" Inherits="Diamond_Group.test2" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="blahblah"></asp:Label>
        <asp:ListBox ID="ListBox1" runat="server"></asp:ListBox>
        <br />
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Open in new window

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
            ListBox1.Items.Add("option 1")
            ListBox1.Items.Add("option 2")
            ListBox1.Items.Add("option 3")
            ListBox1.Items.Add("option 4")
            ListBox1.Items.Add("option 5")
            ListBox1.Items.Add("option 6")
        End If
    End Sub
