title: kendo dropdown list select option label by default
body: <p>I have a dropdown list created using kendo library. I have added a option label default text which I want to show on load by default. If I use a select element to initialize a dropdown it does not work nicely but when I use input type as text then it work.</p>
  
  <p>HTML:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;select id="size"&gt;
      &lt;option&gt;S - 6 3/4"&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;option&gt;M - 7 1/4"&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;option&gt;L - 7 1/8"&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;option&gt;XL - 7 5/8"&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>JS:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#size").kendoDropDownList({
      optionLabel: " -- Select -- "
  });
  </code></pre>
