The easiest way is to set the style to something useless. Then the browser will not interpret it and return to the rules defined in your CSS. Standard way: set it to an empty value:
$("#input_content").css("width","");
If you want to completely reset its default value defined in the browser stylesheet, you can try setting the value to "initial":
$("#input_content").css("width","initial");
Or you yourself set the default value, which is "auto" ( see W3C ).
