Use the jQuery removeAttr() methods

You can use the jQuery removeAttr() method to remove the attributes from an HTML element.

In the following example when you click the "Remove Link" button it will remove the href attribute from the link. Let's try it out and see how this method works:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery Removing Attribute from HTML Element</title>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(".remove-attr").click(function(){            
            $("a").removeAttr("href");
        });
    });
</script> 
</head>
<body>
    <button type="button" class="remove-attr">Remove Link</button>
    <a href="#">Demo Link</a>
</body>
</html>
