Strip HTML from Text JavaScript

Question

Is there an easy way to take a string of html in JavaScript and strip out the html?

Answer 1

I have created a working regular expression myself:

str=str.replace(/(<\?[a-z]*(\s[^>]*)?\?(>|$)||]*?(>|$)||$)|<[a-z?!\/]([a-z0-9_:.])*(\s[^>]*)?(>|$))/gi, '');
