jQuery: The ____ method sets the value of an attribute to its default.

The final quiz for this lesson has the fill-in-the-blank question: The ____ method sets the value of an attribute to its default.

I can't find this anywhere in the video, I went back and checked the transcritps and teacher notes. I imagine it has something to do with .attr(), but I can't find any examples of setting an attribute to it's 'default'. I've passed the quiz, but this missed question is still bugging me.

They seem to ask a lot of questions about stuff that has not been covered yet. Way too much and way too fast.

Just like in the JavaScript lessons when we where creating quizzes, sometimes there are bugs. I used a dot before remove, just like it was shown in the jq api. The quiz did not like that, [input !== to removeattr()]. So If anyone thinks "what's going on", do not get discouraged just remove the dot in front of removeattr(). I Learned a lot tracking down this. Made me spend some time reading through the docs.

i also put the dot before removeAttr() and got a "Bummer!"

I'm not feeling how this teacher doesn't type out the code. I'm going to have to check out the old 5 hour long jquery basics course.

I was having the same problem. I thought it was just me. I looked up the removeAttr() method at api.jquery.com, and it didn't say anything about a default value. Maybe the default value is "nothing" since it removes an attribute.
