jQuery: remove certain elements from HTML document

Question

I'd like to strip certain elements from my HTML document. It seems that removing some tags simply doesn't work.

For example - strip all stylesheets:

$("style",this._doc.body).remove();

I'd also like to remove comments or something like weird winword tags like: <!--[if gte mso 9]>

How to do it?

Answer 1

To remove all stylesheets, try this:

$('link[rel=stylesheet]').remove();
