Can someone explain me from where the other <li> items get the class .selected?

Correct me if I'm wrong but what I got from this lesson is that, only the <li> items with the class="selected" inside are going to be touched by the .prop("selected"), but the only <li> item that has this class inside is "Events". Probably I forgot about him using some method to bring that class inside other <li> items, can you enlighten me please!?

Each html page has the <li class="selected"> as static code for the appropriate page. So if you go to the faqs.html page you notice that the <li class="selected"> next to FAQs And if you go to the about.html page you notice that the <li class="selected"> next to About
