Question

I have filled data enclosed in a SPAN tag and BR tag for line break, in a DIV control. From the DIV, I wanted to remove a patricular text, ie removing the whole SPAN and BR associated with the text too using jquery or javascript. I tried .remove() in jquery. It seems not working. I dont know what is the correct way.

The script I used for removing the SPAN related to the ID and BR is as follows :

$("#<%=divMeasures.ClientID %>").find("SPAN[id=" + draggedNodeID + "]").each(function() {
                                $(draggedNodeID).remove();

                            });

Answer 1

It’s hard to diagnose without code, but try something like this:

$("div span,div br").remove();

You can replace div with a selector that better describes your div element, like an ID:

$("#mydiv span, #mydiv br") // ...

Hope this helps!

Edit

Based on your new code, try this:

$("#<%=divMeasures.ClientID %> span#" + draggedNodeID).remove();
