I have a pretty strange ‘assembly’ of an HTML file going on, with <script> tags sprinkled throughout in various areas (can’t do anything about that). One of these (deeply nested) is an include for jQuery. I need to remove the DOM element that has this jQuery script tag, so I want to make sure that is a safe operation. I’m assuming that since jQuery has already been loaded into memory I should be fine (and everything seems to work ok) but just wanted to verify.
Not relevant to this question but if you need to know why I would want to do such a thing take a look at jQuery table.wrap() causes layout issues
This shouldn’t cause problems, except when the script tags are expected to exist in the DOM (for whatever reason).
