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

Change

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

To:

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

Remove the quotes around the variable. That way it will be seen as a variable and not as a string.

Or

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

This way it will first get the text than replace it and set it.
