Question

is it possible to use the jquery text() function to remove all HTML in a string?

String with HTML tags:
myContent = \'

Answer 1

I created this test case: http://jsfiddle.net/ccQnK/1/ , I used the Javascript replace function with regular expressions to get the results that you want.

$(document).ready(function() {
    var myContent = '
Hello world!
';
    alert(myContent.replace(/(<([^>]+)>)/ig,""));
});
