Description

Hello,

Even though te supposed fix in 1.6.1, the following still breaks when upgrading from 1.5.8:

	var selectedIndex;
	selectedIndex = $("#year_week").attr("selectedIndex");
	$("#year_week").attr('selectedIndex', Math.max(selectedIndex - 1,0));
	change_week();

The "attr" method doesnt work anymore. Replacing by .prob fixes the issue.

Please see the blog post for 1.6.1 release. This explains some of the differences between attributes and properties. selectedIndex and a few of the other rare cases did work with attr in the past, but attr did not officially support these properties. prop is the correct method.

Yes, .attr() is clearly wrong there since selectedIndex is always a property and never an attribute. That is different than situations like checked where the boolean attribute is reflected into a property.
