How To Remove An HTML Element By ID Using jQuery
erics, Posted April 12th, 2011 at 7:16:31pm
To remove the element with id equal to removeme:
jQuery("#removeme").remove();
To remove the element with id equal to removeme only if it is empty:
jQuery("#removeme:empty").remove();
To remove all empty DIVs:
jQuery("div:empty").remove();
If it’s not empty, but has whitespace:
if(jQuery.trim(jQuery("#removeme").text()) == "") {
jQuery("#removeme").remove();
}
