title: How do I reset a KendoDropDownList selected index back to -1 (nothing selected)
body: <p>When a <code>KendoDropDownList</code> is created it's initial index is set to -1 and the text is empty.</p>
  
  <p>IE: <code>$("#txtQPLPickupFrom").data("kendoDropDownList").select()</code> would return a -1.</p>
  
  <p>When a selection is made, the <code>select()</code> returns the selected index (0,1,2,3...).</p>
  
  <p>My question is, I want to return the selected index back to -1 when I am displaying an new record entry where the user has not selected a value. Trying to use <code>.select(-1)</code> does not seem to work. So it there a way to restore the initial selection to nothing (-1) after it's already had a value.</p>
