Question

I use jQuery UI draggable droppable features. When I drop one element inside the other I need to remove an inline style of the parent, which currently has
a class with float: left. I need to remove that attribute. I tried adding

.css("float","none") 

but my page fell appart. Is there an alternative to it?

Answer 1

You should try to limit the amount of css manipulation through javascript…this problem you’re encountering being one of the reasons. A better idea would be to set and remove classes on the element that requires the CSS change.

.float{
   float: left;
}


$(element).addClass('float');
$(element).removeClass('float');

This method doesn’t add inline css.
