Remove text with jQuery

Question

Is there a way to remove text that is not wrapped in any tag using jQuery

This is some text

This is \"unwrapped\" text //to be removed

&         


        

Answer 1

It's amazing but at the same time the following code doesn't work

$("div.myClass:has(img)").contents().filter(":text").remove();

and the code from the first post works

$("div.myClass:has(img)")
  .contents()
  .filter(function() {
    return this.nodeType == 3; //Node.TEXT_NODE
  }).remove();

It's important to remeber! jQuery 1.8.3.

And first of all I remember that innerHTML manipulation works much more faster than this approach!
