Remove inline style on element when Effect.Highlight finishes
Reported by Olly Headey | May 22nd, 2008 @ 11:39 AM
Currently Effect.Highlight leaves an inline "background-color" style on the destination element once it has completed. This causes a problem if some other Javascript method needs to control the background colour of that element (in my case, table row hover).
Attached is a patch which removes this inline style once the highlight has finished. I'm new to Scriptaculous so I'm not sure if this fix is good practice or not, but it certainly works.

I have had issues with this also. The inline style also overrides the css.
Simply changing
if (!this.options.restorecolor) { this.options.restorecolor = this.element.getStyle('background-color'); }
to
if (!this.options.restorecolor) { this.options.restorecolor = (this.element.style.backgroundColor ? this.element.getStyle('background-color') : null); }
