using jquery to remove links, but not images

Question

I have a that has a bunch of list items, each with an image wrapped in a hyperlink. I'm trying to write some jQuery that will remove the links, but not the images. Is this possible?

Answer 1

If you're using jQuery 1.4, you could try

$('#list').find('img').unwrap();

Assuming all images in that list are all wrapped in a hyperlink

Answer 2

If you aren't running 1.4:

$("a:has(img)").each(function() { $(this).replaceWith($(this).children()); })

Answer 3

href is an attribution, so in your selector you can do something like: $('img', 'a').each(function(){$(this).attr('href','');});
