Section 4.1: Differece between attr() and prop()

attr() gets/sets the HTML attribute using the DOM functions getAttribute() and setAttribute().

prop() works by setting the DOM property without changing the attribute. In many cases the two are interchangeable, but occasionally one is needed over the other.

To set a checkbox as checked :

$('#tosAccept').prop('checked', true); // using attr() won't work properly somethime here

To remove a property you can use the removeProp() method.

To remove attributes you can use the removeAttr() method.
