New functionality introduced in pull request #28 causes html in the default text to be stripped. Prior to this if using the drop down as a menu, it would have to be cleared after a user selection. This could be done by setting the menu to a falsy value. Now it seems setting the drop down to any falsy value causes it to clear, which can be problematic as the html in the default text is stripped when the dropdown reloads it.
