    I'm running out of technical resources... I can't find an answer on
    google, and my O'Reilley's JavaScript book doesn't have the answer
    either... :-(

    I can set a background color of an element like this:

    this.style.backgroundColor='red';

    but how can I *remove* that style? Obviously I can change it to a
    different color, I want to actually remove the style setting altogether.

    this.style.removeProperty('backgroundColor');

    did not have the desired effect... no change, but no javascript error in
    the javascript console either (firefox 1.0.7)

    Any ideas on how to *remove" a style setting... or is there a "special"
    color like transparent?

    this.style.backgroundColor='transparent';

    Thanks for any ideas....

    Don Russell
