To `removeID` for jQuery as` removeClass`

Question

How to remove attribute idusing jQuery?

jQuery('a.no_flag_question').live('click', function(){
    jQuery.post('/codes/handlers/no_flag_question.php', 
        { question_id: jQuery(this).attr('rel') });
            $(".question_box").removeClass("yellow");   // problem here
            alert ("Question is now not spam.");
});

This code should remove the next yellow attribute in

<div id="yellow" class="question_box">

However, this does not work. Probably the reason is the function removeClass. I am apparently using the wrong function since I want to use an identifier.

$('.question_box').removeAttr('id')
