Remove Specific Content from div with jQuery?

Question

Can you remove specific content from an element with jQuery?

So for example, if I had

<p>Hello, this is a test</p> 

could I turn it into

<p>this is a test</p>

with jQuery (or any Javascript)

Please keep in mind that I just want to remove the "Hello, " so

$(p).innerHTML("this is a test");

wont work

Answer 1

var str = $('p').text()
str.replace('Hello,','');
$('p').text(str);
