    Syntax:

    • Return the value of a property:
      $(selector).prop(property)
    • Set the property and value:
      $(selector).prop(property, value)
    • Set property and value using a function:
      $(selector).prop(property, function(index, currentvalue))
    • Set multiple properties and values:
      $(selector).prop({property:value, property:value, ...})

    Syntax:

    $(selector).on(event, childSelector, data, function, map)

    Parameters:

    • event: This parameter is required. It specifies one or more event(s) or namespaces to attach to the selected elements. In case of multiple event values, those are separated by space. Event must be a valid.
