JS - Remove a tag without deleting content

Question

I am wondering if it is possible to remove a tag but leave the content in tact? For example, is it possible to remove the SPAN tag but leave SPAN\'s content there?

Answer 1

$(function(){

   var newLbl=$("p").clone().find("span").remove().end().html();
    alert(newLbl);

});​
