How to remove the specific attribute from XmlDocument?

jQuery: How can I set the selected attribute to a next available option element if the currently selected option is disabled?

• The console shows Blue, which is good and now I'd like to set the  selected attribute to the next available (not disabled) option tag  element and remove the selected attribute from the current disabled one. <select id="test"> <option >Red</option> <option selected disabled="Disabled">Blue</option> <option>Yellow</option> <option disabled="Disabled">Orange</option> <option>Green</option> </select> <script type="text/javascript"> console.log( $( "select#test option:selected" ).attr( "value" ) ); </script>

• Answer:

  I think this will do: <script type="text/javascript"> var selected_option = $('#test option:selected'); if(selected_option.is(':disabled')) { selected_option.removeAttr('selected').nextAll(':not(:disabled)').first().prop('selected', true); } console.log($('#test option:selected').attr('value')); </script>
