How can I erase all inline styles with javascript and leave only the styles specified in the css style sheet?



If I have the following in my html:







<div style="height:300px; width:300px; background-color:#ffffff;"></div>







And this in my css style sheet:







div {

width:100px;

height:100px;

background-color:#000000;

}







Is there any way, with javascript/jquery, to remove all of the inline styles and leave only the styles specified by the css style sheet?

  1. $('div').attr('style', '');

    or

    $('div').removeAttr('style'); (From Andres's Answer)

    To make this a little smaller, try this:

    $('div[style]').removeAttr('style');

    This should speed it up a little because it checks that the divs have the style attribute.

    Either way, this might take a little while to process if you have a large amount of divs, so you might want to consider other methods than javascript.

  2. You could also try listing the css in the style sheet as !important

  3. I was using the $('div').attr('style', ''); technicque, and it wasn't working in IE8. I alerted the style attribute and it was not stripping out inline styles. .removeAttr ended up doing the trick in IE8.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
