Unwrap Selected Element Javascript Or Jquery

This is my html. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy I'm selecting with with $('#curr

Solution 1:

You can chain contents() into unwrap():

$("#current").contents().unwrap();

contents() will return all the children of #current, including text nodes, and unwrap() can be applied to text nodes.

Solution 2:

var$current = $('#current');
$current.replaceWith($current.text());

Fiddle with the two current answers - pun?

unwrap vs replaceWith

Solution 3:

Just hit this same question. I think this might be marginally better...same effect but I think jQuery has to do less magic to make this work.

$("#current").replaceWith($("#current").contents());
