dynamic location of dropdown

[ghost]

i'm using the anchor tag with padding to determine the height of the select box. as currently coded, the plugin pulls the height from $containerDiv before there is any text in it. this leads to a height which consists of the top+bottom padding, and leads to the "top" being set incorrectly when positioning SSContainerDivWrapper.

i switched the order of the following two statements to get it to work: essentially putting something in the selectTxt before taking the height of the surrounding div.

            //check if a value is selected
            if (currentIndex != -1){
                navigateList(currentIndex);
            } else {
                //set placeholder text
                $containerDivText.text(opts.defaultText);
            }

            //get heights of new elements for use later
            var newUlHeight = $newUl.height(),
                containerHeight = $containerDiv.height(),
                newLiLength     = $newLi.length;
