Remove hyperlink but keep text?

Question

<a href="http://www.website.com/something" title="Show Profile">Mentalist</a> 

Whenever a hyperlink has a title of "Show Profile" I want to remove the hyperlink and replace it with only with the text.

So instead of

<a href="http://www.website.com/something" title="Show Profile">Mentalist</a> 

I want to have only Mentalist.

Any idea how to solve that?

Answer 1

this should work:

$('a[title="Show Profile"]').contents().unwrap(); 

Here a Fiddle with the proof.

Answer 2

This will do:

<a href="http://www.website.com/something" title="Show Profile">Mentalist</a> <a href="http://www.website.com/something" title="Something Else">Mentalist</a>  <script type="text/javascript"> $("a[title='Show Profile']").each(function(){     $(this).replaceWith($(this).text()); }); </script> 

It should replace only the first link.
