I have a div with some class and I add some css using Jquery

$('.myClass').css("position","absolute");
After few steps I remove the class myClass, using
$('.myDiv').removeClass('myClass');
But the style position:absolute is not removing.
Any help will be much appreciated.
                Because those 2 are not associated... teh class is used as a selector to find the elements after that whatever you do is irrespective of the class

                @ajai $('.myClass').css("position","absolute"); means you are directly injecting styles to the div not to the class

                How can I attach styles to that class? Because I want to remove those styles after few steps.

                I think this is a bad approach because he may remove other inline styles that were originally in the HTML

Calling addClass will add a named style from a style-sheet. 
Calling css will apply the styles inline to the element.
To remove the style you applied with css, simply do
$('.myClass').css("position","");
                if he has only one style position. $('.myClass').css("position",""); is simple , else it will be lengthy coding. Best to use jquerys default function of remove attr : removeAttr()

You can't do that using your current code the better way is create a new css class like this 
.position-absolute{
 
the add this class to the div 
$('.myDiv').addClass('position-absolute');
and remove the class after use
$('.myClass').css("position","absolute"); 

That means you are selecting a div having Class named "myClass" and adding that style to that particular div. 
But when you are writing 
$('.myDiv').removeClass('myClass');
That means you are selecting a div having Class named "myDiv" and removing that class named "myClass". But that class does not include that style("position","absolute"), so it will not be removed.
