Question

I’m trying to get jQuery to concatenate two strings in an input field, where each string is the result of the user pressing one button each in two button lists.
The field value should update each time a different button is pressed, and thus show the latest combination of buttons used.

Here is how far I got:

I think http://jsfiddle.net/ThiefMaster/YYNSm/10/ is what you want.

$(document).ready(function() {
    var buttonData = [null, null];
    $("#lang input:button").click(function() {
        buttonData[0] = $(this).val();
        if(buttonData[0] && buttonData[1]) {
            $("#camouflage").val(buttonData[0] + ', ' + buttonData[1]);
        }
    });

    $("#letters input:button").click(function() {
        buttonData[1] = $(this).val();
        if(buttonData[0] && buttonData[1]) {
            $("#camouflage").val(buttonData[0] + ', ' + buttonData[1]);
        }
    });
});
