8,334 PointsThe '." in 'selected' is redundant, but there's no "."!
This is what I've got for the question, but it's telling me I've still got a period in there... am I missing something?
if($anchor.parent().prop("selected")) { $option; }
//Problem: It look gross in smaller browser widths and small devices
//Solution: To hide the text links and swap them out with a more appropriate navigation
//Create a select and append to #menu
var $select = $("<select></select>");
$("#menu").append($select);
//Cycle over menu links
$("#menu a").each(function(){
var $anchor = $(this);
//Create an option
var $option = $("<option></option>");
//Deal with selected options depending on current page
if($anchor.parent().prop("selected")) {
$option;
}
//option's value is the href
$option.val($anchor.attr("href"));
//option's text is the text of link
$option.text($anchor.text());
//append option to select
$select.append($option);
});
//Create button
var $button = $("<button>Go</button>");
$("#menu").append($button);
//Bind click to button
$button.click(function(){
//Go to select's location
window.location = $select.val();
});

if($anchor.parent().hasClass("selected")) // will return true or false
hasClass will return Boolean which is what is needed for the condition statement.
hasClass already says it will look for a class which is why a "." is not needed.
