Attributes

An element's attributes can contain useful information for your application, so it's important to be able to get and set them.

`$.fn.attr`

The $.fn.attr method acts as both a getter and a setter. As a setter, $.fn.attr can accept either a key and a value, or an object containing one or more key/value pairs.

$.fn.attr as a setter:

                
                                // Setting attributes
                              
                              $("a").attr( "href", "allMyHrefsAreTheSameNow.html" );
                            
                              $("a").attr({
                            
                                title: "all titles are the same too!",
                            
                                href: "somethingNew.html"
                            
                              });

$.fn.attr as a getter:

                
                                // Getting attributes
                              
                              $("a").attr("href");  // returns the href for the first a element in the document
