Use jQuery to change an HTML tag?

Question

Is this possible? example: ``` $('a.change').click(function(){ //code to change p tag to h5 tag });

Hello!

change ``` So clicking the change anchor should cause the `

Hello!

` section to change to (as an example) an h5 tag so you'd end up with `

` after the click. I realize you can delete the p tag and replace it with an h5, but is there anyway to actually modify an HTML tag?

Accepted Answer

Once a dom element is created, the tag is immutable, I believe. You'd have to do something like this: ``` $(this).replaceWith($('

')); ```
