How to remove only tag using jQuery?

Question

I want to remove the span using jQuery, I have tried the .unwrap(); but it\'s not working.

<         


        

      

Answer 1

$('li').find('span').remove();

or

$('li').find('span').detach();

If you want to remove the wrapping only, try

var buffer = $('li').find('span').text();
$('li').find('span').parent().html(buffer);
