Is it possible to remove the attribute of the first HTML <div> tag? So, this:

<div style=display: none; >aaa</div>

becomes

<div>aaa</div>

from the following:

<div style=display: none; >aaa</div>

<a href=# style=display: none; >(bbb)</a>

<span style=display: none; >ccc</span>

To remvove it from literally the first element use .removeAttr():

$(:first).removeAttr(style);

or in this case .show() will show the element by removing the display property:

$(:first).show();

Though you probably want to narrow it down to inside something else, for example:

$(#container :first).removeAttr(style);

If you want to show the first hidden one, use :hidden as your selector:

$(:hidden:first).show();
