jsFiddle example

I actually just answered another question that was similar to this. Per the .prop() docs:

The .prop() method is a convenient way to set the value of
properties—especially when setting multiple properties, using values
returned by a function, or setting values on multiple elements at
once. It should be used when setting selectedIndex, tagName, nodeName,
nodeType, ownerDocument, defaultChecked, or defaultSelected. Since
jQuery 1.6, these properties can no longer be set with the .attr()
method. They do not have corresponding attributes and are only
properties.

Properties generally affect the dynamic state of a DOM element without
changing the serialized HTML attribute. Examples include the value
property of input elements, the disabled property of inputs and
buttons, or the checked property of a checkbox. The .prop() method
should be used to set disabled and checked instead of the .attr()
method.
The .val() method should be used for getting and setting
value.
