Clear dropdown using jQuery Select2

Question

I\'m trying to programmatically clear a drop down using the fantastic Select2 library. The drop down is dynamically filled with a remote ajax call using the Select2 qu

Answer 1

These both work for me to clear the dropdown:

.select2('data', null)
.select2('val', null)

But important note: value doesn't get reset, .val() will return the first option even if it's not selected. I'm using Select2 3.5.3
