How to remove CSS property using JavaScript?

The style of the element is selected by going through the styleSheets array and selecting the cssRule. The removeProperty method can then be specified with the property to be removed.

Syntax:

element.removeProperty('property')

Example-1:

filter_none

chevron_right






                        filter_none








Output:


    

  • Before clicking the button:
    
removeProperty-before

    • 

  • After clicking the button:
    
removeProperty-after

    • 



Method 2: Using the setProperty method: The CSSStyleDeclaration.setProperty() method can be used to set the required property of the style. The element of which the property has to be removed is selected and this property is applied to its style property. Setting this property to ‘initial’ resets the property to its initial value, removing any effect of the property.


Syntax:


element.style.setProperty('color', 'initial')


Example:











                                    filter_none




                                    edit

                                    close




                                    play_arrow




                                    link
