Question

Currently, I have this line:

this.html(this.html().replace(/\x3C\x2F?[^\x3E]+\x3E/gi, ''));

But, I would like something along the lines of an “if clause” to say,

IF (this.tag = "<a") {
  do nothing
} ELSE {
  remove tag
}

I don’t suppose anyone has any ideas?

[EDIT]: I think I may have to do a “FOR EACH” loop… I think…. [/EDIT]

^.^

Answer 1

this.html(this.html().replace(/<\/?([b-z]+)[^>]*>/gi, function(match, tag) { 
  return (tag === "a") ? match : ""; 
})); 

If you are looking at leaving the “a” tags in place, change the regular expression from [a-z] to [b-z]
