I'm all for that. I've always thought it awkward of XHTML to have the value of those attributes be the same as their name. Naturally, you may want to support the existing syntax as well for backwards compatibility.

Subject: [jQuery] Single Value Attributes Hey everyone - I stumbled across a point of optimization today, all of the following attributes (and probably more - let me know) can only have a single value. checked="checked" multiple="multiple" disabled="disabled" readonly="readonly" disabled="disabled" selected="selected" I'd like to add in methods like: .checked( true | false ) Which does this in the background (but for each attribute): $.fn.checked = function(b) { if ( b ) this.attr( "checked", "checked" ); else this.removeAttr( "checked" ); }; What do you think? --John _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/ _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
