Use the jQuery remove()
method
You can simply use the jQuery remove()
method to remove the elements from DOM. This method will remove the matched elements as well as everything inside of it.
The following example will show you how to remove a paragraph from DOM completely.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery Remove Elements from DOM</title>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$("p").remove();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button>Remove paragraph</button>
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
