Why is my download attribute working?

I'm stumped. My code is clean, but it's not working.

const $odd = $("a:odd");
const $secureLinks = $('a[href^="https://"]');
const $pdfs = $('a[href$=".pdf"]');

$secureLinks.attr("target", "_blank");
$pdfs.attr('download', true);

I just tried your code out and it seem to be working fine. What is the exact problem?
