Using jQuery, how do I remove the #hello div below and just keep the a element within the outer div tags?

I want to go from this:

<div>
  <div id="hello">
    <a href="http://google.com"></a>
  </div>
</div>

To this:

<div>
  <a href="http://google.com"></a>
</div>

Try the unwrap function:

$('#hello a').unwrap();
