data-selectedtext doesn't work on mobile

[nileLivingston]

First off, thanks for the fantastic plugin. I get a lot of use out of it, and I'm happy to see it so well-supported.

I noticed that the data-selectedtext attribute doesn't work on mobile. This is the case for the official example, so I'm confident the bug isn't an artifact of my implementation.

The issue appears to originate in the _updateMobileText function, on line 2945:

self._setText(self.dropdownText, currentText);

which doesn't contain any references to selectedText. I fixed it locally by first defining currentDataSelectedText inside of _updateMobileText, as it is elsewhere in the source code:

currentDataSelectedText = currentOption.attr("data-selectedtext");

And then by replacing the erroneous line 2945 with the following:

self._setText(self.dropdownText, currentDataSelectedText || currentText);

Thanks again!

Sure thing; you'll find my modified code attached.

(Apologies for the file extension, GitHub won't allow me to attach a .js file)
