jquery - Why do we write .attr('selected','selected') with select tag
attr, jquery, select, selected
Solution
Explanation of `.attr('selected','selected')`.
First argument inside `.attr` represent the `attribute` you want to pointing at while second argument set `value` of attribute which is passed as first argument.
if we have just `.attr('selected')` then it just return the value of `selected` attribute.
Problem
