Question

I’ve got a question regarding jQuery, I want to remove the following from the an object ($website) that stores the

 $website.html().remove('a');

 $website.html() returns = egg street eggland eg1 <a href="random">
                                                       <img src=""></img>
                                                  </a>

How would I remove a element and its contents ?

I have tried

$website.remove('a');

But this doesn’t seem to remove anything..

Please could you point me in the right direction if I am doing this completely wrong..

Thank

Answer 1

$('a', $website).remove(); // P00F

Basically finds all anchor tags withing $website and removes them.

Reverse (based on comment below by OP):

$($website.children()).not('a').remove(); // P00F

Basically finds all things in $website that are not anchor tags and removes them.
