How can I prevent a typeahead dropdown from closing when an item is selected? I've tried using `preventDefault` like this:

```
$('#q').bind('typeahead:selected',function(obj, datum, name) {  
            ...
            obj.preventDefault();
        });

```

But no success.

Edit:
I've managed to "fix" this by building Typeahead with lines 217-218 commented from typeahead\_views.js:

```
  byClick && utils.isMsie() ?
       utils.defer(this.dropdownView.close) : this.dropdownView.close();

```

But there has to be another way without modifying source files?
