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

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

Plain JavaScript   You don t need jQuery to do something trivial like this  Just use the  removeAttribute   method   Assuming you are just targeting a single element  you can easily use the following   example   document querySelector   target   removeAttribute  style      If you are targeting multiple elements  just loop through the selected collection of elements   example   var target   document querySelectorAll  div    Array prototype forEach call target  function element       element removeAttribute  style          Array prototype forEach   - IE9 and above    querySelectorAll   - IE 8  partial  IE9 and above
