How to change css of element using jquery

Question

I have defined a CSS property as

#myEltId span{
  border:1px solid black;
}

On clicking a button, I want to remove its border.

$('#button1').click(function() {
  // How to fetch all those spans and remove their border
});

Just use:

$('#button1').click(
    function(){
        $('#myEltId span').css('border','0 none transparent');
    });

Or, if you prefer the long-form:

$('#button1').click(
    function(){
        $('#myEltId span').css({
            'border-width' : '0',
            'border-style' : 'none',
            'border-color' : 'transparent'
        });
    });

And, I'd strongly suggest reading the API for css() (see the references, below).

No worries; glad to have been of (some, small) help anyway. Even if only to verify your original approach.

If you will use this several times, you can also define css class without border:

.no-border {border:none !important;}

and then apply it using jQuery;

$('#button1').click(function(){
        $('#myEltId span').addClass('no-border');
});
