title: copy dropdown field selection into a hidden text field
body: <p>I know this has been covered before, but i can't find exactly what i need....</p>
  
  <p>to put things short, i need to copy the selected option from a dropdown field to a text box. And i have this code to do it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(function(){
      $('#font').bind('change', function(){
          $('#input').val($(this).val());
      });
  });​
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>BUT, the page loads with a pre-selected option in the drop-down field, which means that people don't necessarily need to select an option. How can i get the field with id #input to show the option from the drop down menu #font even if the user does not engage and select a different option?</p>
