title: jQuery .prop() function not working (.prop() vs .attr())
body: <p>I am using <a href="https://github.com/ripter/jquery.rating" rel="nofollow">this plugin</a> for jQuery.</p>
  
  <p>The plugin tries to create an anchor (<code>&lt;a&gt;</code>) tag, with a <code>value=</code> attribute. However, it does not create the tag with any such attribute in my browser. Is this a <code>jQuery</code> problem? Or an HTML problem? I'm not sure why it seems to be working for so many others, but not for me.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code I'm using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("&lt;a/&gt;").prop({
        className: "ui-rating-star ui-rating-empty",
        title: $(this).text(),   // perserve the option text as a title.
        value: this.value        // perserve the value.
  }).appendTo(elm);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is supposed to create the following element:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a class=​"ui-rating-star ui-rating-empty" title=​"1 Star"&gt;​&lt;/a&gt;​
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am using jQuery v1.9.1, if that matters.</p>
