I want to remove the text \"By:\" from an element in my website. I want the rest of the text to remain there. How can I achieve that with jQuery? Thank you.

Answer 1

a more global solution using regular expressions. This will replace By: even if your string structure will change.

var str = $('div').text().replace(/By:/g, '');
$('div').text(str);
