Question

Given the following dom structure I would like to transform an ordered list to an unordered list.

<div class="wrapper"> 
  <ol>
    <li><div>foo</div></li>
    <ol>
      <li><div>bar</div></li>
    </ol>
    <li><div>batz</div></li>
  </ol>
</div>

What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

ok i had to work from the inside to the outside, only replaceWith wasn’t working because it replaced only the outer tags and didn’t replace the inner ones, so i solved it this way:

$($('.wrapper').find('ol').get().reverse()).each(function(){
  $(this).replaceWith($('<ul>'+$(this).html()+'</ul>'))
})

if someone has a better solution i would be glad to hear it.
