Javascript prop('required', true) works but prop('required', false) doesn't?

Why does the $('#select_embed') property get set to true, but not to false? Instead, I tried removeAttribute('required'), but that didn't work either.

<script>



    function showBundles(){

        if (document.getElementById(embed).checked){

            $('#div_embed_bundles').show('fast')

            $('#select_embed').prop('required',true);

        }

        else {

            $('#div_embed_bundles').hide('fast')

            $('#select_embed').prop('required',false);

        }

    }



</script>

Ideally if prop('required',true) is working then prop('required',false) should also work. But you can try with removeAttr, hope this helps.

function showBundles(){

        if (document.getElementById(embed).checked){

            $('#div_embed_bundles').show('fast')

            $('#select_embed').prop('required',true);

        }

        else {

            $('#div_embed_bundles').hide('fast')

            $('#select_embed').removeAttr('required');

        }

    }
