Can I remove inline event handlers using jQuery?

javascript, jquery

Solution

Try the `.removeAttr()` function:

$(function() {
    $('a').removeAttr('onclick');
});

​ jsfiddle demo.

Once you've got rid of the `onclick` attribute you could attach your own click handler.

Problem

I have some HTML with an `onclick` attribute. I want to override that attribute using jQuery. Is there any way to remove the click handler using jQuery? Using unbind doesn't work.
