Question

If I have a series of elements with class=”filler”, how can I remove one at a time without removing all of them? And this is without giving them all ids; there are a LOT of them.

For example, say I have this:

<br class="filler"/>
<hr class="filler"/>
<br class="filler"/>
<hr class="filler"/>
<br class="filler"/>
<hr class="filler"/>
<br class="filler"/>
<hr class="filler"/>

This repeats for quite a ways. I would like to remove one br and one hr each time a function is called. How can I do that?

Answer 1

To remove the first br and hr using jquery:

$("br.filler").first().remove();
$("hr.filler").first().remove();
