Javascript code removing anchor tags

[smita232]

HI ,

i have a code :

<a href="#" >Hyperlink</a>


Now how do i remove the anchor tag dynamically using Javascript?

Find the link in the DOM (document.getEl ementsByTagName () or getElementById( ) if it has an ID) and then use removeChild:

document.body.removeChild(..)

If you don't know the parent node, you can use the parentNode property:

node.parentNode.removeChild(node);

where node is the element to be removed.

As people say, this will do it:

$(document).ready(function() {
 var a=document.getElementsByTagName('a');
 for(var i=0;i<a.length;i++)
  if ((a[i].attributes['href'] && a[i].attributes['href'].value=='#') && (a[i].innerHTML=='Hyperlink'))
   a[i].parentNode.removeChild(a[i]);
});
