title: jQuery .attr() and value
body: <p>I want to make the following use .attr();</p>
  <pre><code>selectbox.options[selectbox.selectedIndex].value
  </code></pre>
  <p>sadly,</p>
  <pre><code>selectbox.options[selectbox.selectedIndex].attr(&quot;value&quot;)
  </code></pre>
  <p>is not the same, and seems to defeat the purpose of the .attr altogether.  My main question is: How should one use nested .attr()s?</p>
