I want to display two text strings depending on a user's selection from two drop down lists.
So there are two drop down options:
For each month option, I want to have a corresponding value. So for January option, the value would be "January Name." For each color option, there is also a corresponding value. So for green option, the value is "Green name."
Once the user selects both options (month AND color), I want the output to display a text with the concatenation of the two values.
So for example, if I select January and Green, the output will be:
If I change the month to something else, the name would update accordingly.
I put together some html/css code as a start http://jsfiddle.net/baumdexterous/ys3GS/. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could shed some light on how I could achieve this task using jquery! Also - how can I make the text output fade in?. Thank you so much!!!

BTW - I also want to style the select fields... so does it make more sense to write these as a list items (li, ul)?
