This is not really about removing the "selected" attribute - behind the scenes, jQuery first sets it to false.

I'm not sure if WebKit is actually broken here, but we should investigate this as a difference with Firefox. Please consider also filing a bug against jQuery, as there is no apparent reason for removeAttr() to behave this way.


removeAttr: function( name, fn ) {
    return this.each(function(){
        jQuery.attr( this, name, "" ); // <-- this sets .selected to false in your test case
        if ( this.nodeType === 1 ) {
            this.removeAttribute( name );
        }
    });
},
