Question

Can anybody help with finding a raw JavaScript solution to remove some spaces around an anchor element.

I currently have the anchor nested in a table cell and there’s an   just before the anchor that causing the anchor (which I’ve styled to be a block element) to appear on the next line.

I’m pretty sure I know how to do it with jQuery but I wanted a raw JavaScript solution, can anybody help?

Example.

Answer 1

This code removes   before anchor:

var s = document.getElementById('ttt').innerHTML;
s = s.replace(/&nbsp;[\s\r\n\t]*(<a)/gm, "$1");
document.getElementById('ttt').innerHTML = s;

“ttt” – your table id attribute.
