The jQuery Mobile Drop Down Menu Project

The prop method is used in the jquery mobile drop down menu project. In the video, the method is shown to contain three arguments, a string, a number, and a boolean. However, the jquery documentation only shows one argument, which is a string. Where are the other two arguments? Why is the method in the video shown to take three arguments but, only one argument in the actual docs.

Could you post some example of the code?

Haven't done this in any of my own projects, but I believe you can pass in multiple arguments by giving it an object, like this: 

$(selector).prop({property:value, property:value,...})

Sorry. Here is my code for the mobile drop down menu project.

//Problem: It looks gross in smaller browser widths and small devices //Solution: 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().hasClass("selected")) { $option.prop("selected", true); } //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); });

//Bind change listener to the select $select.change(function() { //Go to select's location window.location = $select.val(); });

Here is the String argument from jquery. $( "input" ).prop( "disabled", false );

0ne of the only arguments I found.
