Is there a simple way to bind the textbox of a div to change based on the text value of the selected option in a dropdown on the same page?

<div data-bind="text: dropdownValue"></div>
<select>
  <option value="1">Value1</option>
  <option value="2">Value2</option>
</select>

Please note, I don't want to put the values into the select element using javascript. I'd like to bind to the value straight from the HTML. I can also include jQuery to make it work.
