Question

When I attempt to remove a list using jquery remove() method, the list remains unmoved.
Here’s the code I’m using to remove the list:

              $("li.span.folder").remove();

Can someone tell what I’m doing wrong here?

Thank You…

Answer 1

Try with:

$("li span.folder").remove();

if your structure is like:

<ul>
    <li> <span class="folder"></span> </li>
</ul>

… just if you want to keep the li element removing the <span>.

If you want to get rid of the li parent … than do:

$("span.folder").parent('li').remove();
