obj. item1 = {};

obj. item2 = {};

obj. item3 = {};

obj. item4 = {};

I am wanting to remove one of the attributes. So I call $(obj).removeAttr('item1')

This empties the attribute but the attribute still exists.

Any pointers would be great!

Here's the print out from chrome's js console

obj

Object

1. item1: Object
2. item2: Object
3. item3: Object
4. item4: Object
5. __proto__: Object

$(obj).removeAttr('item1')

[

Object

1. item1: ""
2. item2: Object
3. item3: Object
4. item4: Object
5. __proto__: Object

]
