I am using chosen.js select plugin and am having one issue I can’t seem to figure out.

When I select an option it fires the change event as expected, I then want to reset the chosen control which I accomplish like this:

$('#myChosenControl').val('').trigger('liszt:updated');

The problem is if I then select the same option again the change event does not fire because it believes the values are the same.

I made a fiddle to demonstrate:

Is there anyway to totally reset the chosen select so that when the same option is selected it will still fire the change event?
