I have a situation where I'm wrapping an image with a span and I want to remove all the CSS from the image and apply it to the span. Is there a way to do this with JQuery?

JQuery:

$(img).wrap('<span />');

Style Sheet:

img { border: 5px solid red; padding: 10px; … }

I would like do to do this with out editing the HTML or CSS. For example adding a class to the image would not work very well in my situation. I need a way to truly remove the CSS from one element and place it on another.
