12,081 PointsQuestion about selected property for options.
In this video, we're using the following jQuery to change a Boolean property on the options elements:
$option.prop("selected", true);
While the code seems to work as intended, I like to check the DOM in Chrome Developer tools to see the change in code. In this case, I was hoping to see the "selected" property appearing in the option element in the DOM. However, this does not appear.
Is there a way to see Boolean properties (i.e. selected) for option elements in Chrome Developer tools?
EDIT: I figured out how to view the Properties. They're in the Properties tab. Please see follow up question below.
Thanks!

Including properties in the inspector would make it really difficult to navigate and read, which I think is why they don't do that. Unfortunately, it looks like they don't let you customize it even if you wanted to read it that way.
Sorry.

12,081 PointsI answered my own question in part... I noticed that there's a Properties tab that I can go glance at. Let me revise my question...
Is there a way to show the properties inline with the element in the DOM???
