Using .replaceWith to remove
tags but keep content inside tags?

Question

I have a table cell containing content that's wrapped in `

` tags: ```

Content goes here

``` I want the `

` tags removed so it looks like this: ``` Content goes here ``` I tried the following jQuery, but it didn't work. Can someone point me in the right direction? ``` $('.address p').replaceWith(''); ```

Accepted Answer

Try:

```
$('.address p').contents().unwrap();
```

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/6zAN7/34/ (uses `div` instead of `td` but the concept should be the same)

Explanation:

`contents` gets elements inside the paragraph tag (including text elements), and then calls `unwrap` on those text elements, removing the parent `p` tag.
