Question

In the code below, I am trying to figure out a way to remove only the word Welcome!. What would be the most efficient way of doing this using jQuery?

<div>
  Welcome!
  <div class="lorem">
    <p>blah blah blah</p>
  </div>
  <ul class="list">
    <li>blah blah</li>
    <li>blah blah</li>
  </ul>
</div>

If its always the first node you can do this:

$("div").first().contents().first().remove();
