Removing all the styles from an element

[toasti]

Hi

How does one remove all the styles associated with an emement.

eg: if you have
<div style="margin:solid 1px; color:white;background-color:black" ></div>

how would you clear this with javascript so that you have the equivalent of:
<div style=""></div>

Use removeAttribute to remove the style attribute:

thediv.removeAttribute('style');
