I just released version 1.2 of SpicySelect. The changes include:

- Made the text in the select not highlightable. You can't select the text in a regular select box, so the spicy select should not be selectable either.
- Added mouseover support to the "current" class that gets applied to denote the active selection. When a user expands the select, the "current" class will be applied whenever an option is moused over or navigated to with the keyboard. Please use that for styling instead of ":hover".
- Added configurable label markup. You can now specify what markup will be placed at the top of the select container to hold the text for the selected option.
