The prop () method in jQuery is used to get and set the property of an selected element. Such as width, height, color etc.
Syntax:
$(selector).prop (property-name)
 This signature are used to get the property
$(selector).prop (property-name, value)
 And this signature are used for setting the property of selected elements
$(selector).prop (property-name, function (index, currentvalue))
 Also this signature set property and this function action at the end of prop ()
$(selector).prop ({property: value, property: value, ...})
 Also this signature set the multiple properties
Example 
<!DOCTYPE html>  

<html lang='en'>
<head>
  <meta charset='utf-8'>
  <script src='https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js'></script>
<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('button').click(function () {
            $('img').prop({ width: 300 });

        });
