            var select = $(this).on({
                "focusout": function(){
                    var values = select.val() || [];
                    setTimeout(function(){
                        select.val(values.length ? values : ['']).change();
                    }, 1000);
                }
            });
            var firstOption = ' 0 ? '' : ' selected="selected"';
            firstOption += '>« Select ' + (select.attr('title') || 'Options') + ' »';
            firstOption += '';
            select.prepend(firstOption);
        });
    }
