Removing elements by class name?

Question

I have the below code to find elements with their class name:

// Get the element by their class name
var cur_columns = document.getElementsByClassName(\'colu         


        

Answer 1

Using jQuery (which you really could be using in this case, I think), you could do this like so:

$('.column').remove();

Otherwise, you're going to need to use the parent of each element to remove it:

element.parentNode.removeChild(element);
