difference between prop() and attr() in jQuery and when to use attr() and prop()
This question already has an answer here:
from docs
The difference between attributes and properties can be important in specific situations. Before jQuery 1.6, the .attr() method sometimes took property values into account when retrieving some attributes, which could cause inconsistent behavior. As of jQuery 1.6, the .prop() method provides a way to explicitly retrieve property values, while .attr() retrieves attributes.
example
For example, selectedIndex, tagName, nodeName, nodeType, ownerDocument, defaultChecked, and defaultSelected should be retrieved and set with the .prop() method. Prior to jQuery 1.6, these properties were retrievable with the .attr() method, but this was not within the scope of attr. These do not have corresponding attributes and are only properties.

You can set an attribute for HTML element. You define it while writing the source code, once the browser parse your code, corresponding DOM node will be created which is an object thus having properties.
Simple example can be..
<input type="test" value="test" id="test" />
Here type, value, id are attributes.Once browser renders it, you will get other properties like align, alt, autofocus, baseURI, checked and so on.

.attr() changes attributes for that HTML tag.
.prop() changes properties for that HTML tag as per the DOM tree.
As the example in this link suggests. An input field can have the attribute "value". This will equal the default value you entered. If the user changes the value in the input field, the property "value" changes in the DOM Tree, but the original attribute is left remaining.
So basically, if you want the default value set up for an HTML tag's attribute, use the .attr() function. If that value can be changed by the user (such as inputs, checkbox's, radios, etc.) use the .prop() function to get the newest value.

JQuery is a changing library and sometimes they make regular improvements. .attr() is used to get attributes from the HTML tags, and while it is perfectly functional .prop() was added later to be more semantic and it works better with value-less attributes like 'checked' and 'selected'.
It is advised that if you are using a later version of JQuery you should use .prop() whenever possible.
