How do I do this? Do I need to use DOM?

Suppose I have a drop down list and it has 2 options - Yes and No. If you choose Yes, it will append/write Yes to the HTML document right below the drop down list. If you choose No, it will append/write No to the HTML document right below the drop down list.

[Drop Down List - Option chosen is Yes]

Yes
