How do I unset an element's CSS attribute using jQuery?

Question

If I set a CSS value on a specific element using:

$(\'#element\').css(\'background-color\', \'#ccc\');

I want to be able to unset that elem

Answer 1

I think you can also do:

$('#element').css('background-color', '');

That's what I used to do a long time ago for the display property in plain-old-javascript to show/hide a field.
