.removeAttr()
The official JQuery doc use dots at the start of their method names, but at the time of writing this response, .removeAttr() (with a dot) doesn't pass.

$("h1").removeAttr()
For example.
I hope this helps! Cheers

An answer containing the period wouldn't be valid as periods are not a part of method names since they denote a piece of child functionality on the parent object, the correct answer would in this case just be removeAttr() as removeAttr is the method.
Hope that helps.

"The .removeAttr() method uses the JavaScript removeAttribute() function..."

That said; Other sites such as MDN demonstrate methods correctly by name instead of having the period too which is incorrect since as I mentioned periods aren't part of a method name.
