$('html, body').removeAttr('style') fails in Webkit browsers.

[[email protected]…]

While doing

$('html, body').css('overflow', 'hidden');

It works, but until this part (in Webkit browsers) it fails to do this:

$('html, body').removeAttr('style');

This is legit, but it's a quirk in webkit: ​http://jsfiddle.net/timmywil/9CLfd/2/

overflow is automatically converted asynchronously to overflow-x/overflow-y, which happens after the removeAttr call. We can fix by adding a call to attr to set the style tag to empty string before removal, but I'd hate to add another function call to every removeAttr.

Ah I see now. Thanks for that fix. Surely this "bug" can be fixed in the jQuery core that remove asynchronous styles?

removeAttribute('style') even without this overflow conversion has problems, so I'll close this ticket as a dup of the more enveloping issue.
