Jquery remove text from span

Question

I\'m new to JQuery and really struggling how to perform the query I want.

I\'m using SharePoint, and the when using the External Data Column and set it to required field

Answer 1

$('span.ms-error:contains("External Data")').hide();

If you know for sure that these span's are inside a certain table or a div then target it specifically inside those to make the script perform better.

eg.

$('.ms-usereditor span.ms-error:contains("External Data")').hide();
