 An element's attributes can contain useful information for your application, so it's important to be able to get and set them.
 
-## `$.fn.attr`
+## `$.fn.prop`
 
-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.
+The `$.fn.prop` method acts as both a getter and a setter. As a setter, `$.fn.prop` can accept either a key and a value, or an object containing one or more key/value pairs.

+`$.fn.prop` as a setter:
 
 ```
 // Setting attributes
-$("a").attr( "href", "allMyHrefsAreTheSameNow.html" );
+$("a").prop( "href", "allMyHrefsAreTheSameNow.html" );
 
-$("a").attr({
+$("a").prop({
   title: "all titles are the same too!",
   href: "somethingNew.html"
 });
 ```

+`$.fn.prop` as a getter:
 
 ```
 // Getting attributes
-$("a").attr("href");  // returns the href for the first a element in the document
+$("a").prop("href");  // returns the href for the first a element in the document
 ```
+
+`$.fn.attr` is similar `$.fn.prop` to but is rarely needed. The first is supposed to be used with the original (source code) attributes while the second manipulates the computed DOM tree properties.
