title: Is "selected" a reserved word in jQuery?
body: <p>jQuery won't return a value for a class I'm using called "selected". If I change the class name to something else it is found. </p>
  
  <p>Example: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a id="a1" class="selected" href="#tab1"&gt;Part I&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  
  alert($('ul li a').attr("class"));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get an empty alert box. But if I change the class name to "selected_", I get "selected_" back in the alert box.</p>
  
  <p>I'm guessing "selected" is a jQuery reserved words. I've found lists of Javascript reserved words and "selected" is not, as far as I can tell, a Javascript reserved word.</p>
