Hi,

Yeah, bit of a pain that there's no standard way to _remove_ a style
from the style property entirely.  Setting things to "" is not the
same thing.

However:  Effects offer beforeStart and afterFinish callbacks, and the
style property has this nifty cssText property on it, which suggests
this should work around the problem (and may be a way forward for an
eventual scripty fix):

    $('target').highlight({
        beforeStart: function(effect) {
            effect.saveStyle = effect.element.style.cssText;
        },
        afterFinish: function(effect) {
            effect.element.style.cssText = effect.saveStyle;
        }
    });

cssText is fairly widely supported, I believe, even IE6 had it (not
that :hover works with IE6, except on links).  In fact, Prototype's
setStyle uses it if you pass in a string (an undocumented feature;
docs say it has to be an object, so it may not get unit tested).

HTH,
