Question

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/axfsD/1/

I’m trying to strip HTML tags in my pages.
I pasted below also two examples. By using replace command i can’t strip first button’s tags, but i can’t strip second one’s tags.
What can be the problem?

< script >
    $('button').replace(/<.*?>/g, "");
< /script>​

<button class="btn btn-info" rel="popover" data-content="hic   
aslinda sen de olabilir " data-original-title="Gemlik Bursa">
<small><span title="">mihan tosun</span></small></button>

<button class="btn btn-info" rel="popover" 
data-content="Benim olan benimdir Baskasinda gorduysen bil ki vazgecmisimdir   " 
data-original-title=""> <small><span title="">
Senin TAMER</span></small></button>​​​

Your problem is because replace() is a native JS function, not a jQuery one. So it won’t repeat on all buttons. This is another way to do it that is more robust.

$('button').each(function(){
    var buttonText = $(this).text();
    $(this).empty().text(buttonText);
});
