Howto change all links to text in a div tag

Question

I'd like to get rid of all links in a specific div tag with the help of jquery.

E.g from this:

<div id="some_div">
    <a href="whatever.html">click here</a>
</div>

To this:

<div id="some_div">
    click here
</div>

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

var textToReplace = $("#some_div a").text();
$("#some_div").text(textToReplace);

Answer 2

$('#some_div').text($('#some_div').text());

Answer 3

As of 1.4, you can use $.unwrap():

$("#some_div a").contents().unwrap();
