title: Unselect a Select Input
body: <p>I have a "select" input that is programmed to open up a modal box when clicked to get some information before proceeding.  That part all works great.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that once the modal box is up, the select dropdown options are all still visible.  I want that select input to go back to being a normal, not clicked on at all, select box.</p>
  
  <p>What javascript or jquery code can I use to make that select dropdown clear away?</p>
