You can check length of selected options and dropdown's value, but this is nasty stuff and there are other ways to do it better and more elegant.

Example:

var $yourDropdown= $('#dropdownElement');
var $options= $('#dropdownElement option:selected');
if ($options.length == 0 || yourDropdown.val() == "")
{
}
