jquery text().replace('','') not working

Question

Hi I am trying for hours now to remove a text string again after I have appended it.

I have a script that handles an accordion and I have some redundancy in text in

Answer 1

That should be:

$( "#redundant_text_wrapper").text( $( "#redundant_text_wrapper").text().replace('redundantText','') ) ;

Or if you want to replace all occurrences:

$( "#redundant_text_wrapper").text( $( "#redundant_text_wrapper").text().replace(/redundantText/g,'') ) ;
