Bug, selected: $this.is(':selected')

[jaswrks]

From ddSlick source code...

//Get data from HTML select options
obj.find('option').each(function () {
  var $this = $(this), thisData = $this.data();
  ddSelect.push({
      text: $.trim($this.text()),
      value: $this.val(),
      selected: $this.is(':selected'),
      description: thisData.description,
      imageSrc: thisData.imagesrc //keep it lowercase for HTML5 data-attributes
  });
});

I believe this could be causing a problem. selected: $this.is(':selected') will return true for the first item in the list when there is no selected="selected" attribute (i.e. even when there is nothing truly selected yet). This is jQuery being smart.

However, in the context of your jQuery plugin, this causes a problem, because there is no way to use the selectText config option if selected: $this.is(':selected') always returns at least one true value.

Suggested Fix

//Get data from HTML select options
obj.find('option').each(function (index) {
  var $this = $(this), thisData = $this.data();
  ddSelect.push({
      text: $.trim($this.text()),
      value: $this.val(),
      selected: obj[0].selectedIndex === index,
      description: thisData.description,
      imageSrc: thisData.imagesrc //keep it lowercase for HTML5 data-attributes
  });
});

Parts changed: function (index) and selected: obj[0].selectedIndex === index,
