title: How do I unset an element's CSS attribute using jQuery?
body: <p>If I set a CSS value on a specific element using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#element').css('background-color', '#ccc');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to be able to unset that element-specific value and use the cascaded value, along the lines of:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#element').css('background-color', null);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But that syntax doesn't seem to work – is this possible using another syntax?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> The value isn't inherited from the parent element – the original values comes from an element-level selector. Sorry for any confusion!</p>
