A:
If you want to remove the link and leave the text:
$("a").replaceWith(function(){ return $(this).text() });

If you're using jQuery 1.4+, CMS provided an even shorter answer.

@Jonathan, what made you change this from your first example?

Brevity. Using `.replaceWith()` was shorter.

A:
You could also use the new $.unwrap method (jQuery 1.4+) applied to the contents of the anchor:
$('a').contents().unwrap();
Check an example here.

+1 I initially tried this, but I must have not loaded 1.4 into jsbin, or I wrote "content" instead. Either way, good work.
