jquery - remove div using just classname

Question

Hello all, I want to remove below element using javascript/jquery.

<p class="classname"><a title="some title" href="#">Hello</a></p>

Please note that i dont have the id of the element so how can i remove it using just the class name.

Thank you.

Answer 1

you can select items by their class using the following syntax

$(".classname")

So to remove this item it would be

$('.classname').remove();

Answer 2

$('.classname').remove();
// OR
$([container selector]).remove('.classname');

according to the jQuery documentation.

Answer 3

If the link is unique but the paragraph with the classname is not and you only want to remove this single element, search for the link first:

$("a:contains('Hello')").parent().remove();
