how to remove p tags within a div?

Question

I have a div which contains a paragraph tag which contains text. What I want is to remove the p tags but keep the text in the div? is this possible in jQuery?

<div id="footright"><p>Circus</p></div>

Answer 1

There's lots of ways you can do it. I'd probably go with:

​$('#footright > p').contents().unwrap();​​​​​​​​​

Answer 2

Yes:

$('#footright').text($('#footright').text());
