How to remove item from array by value? [duplicate]

Answer 1

a very clean solution working in all browsers and without any framework is to asign a new Array and simply return it without the item you want to delete:

/**
 * @param {Array} array the original array with all items
 * @param {any} item the time you want to remove
 * @returns {Array} a new Array without the item
 */
var removeItemFromArray = function(array, item){
  /* assign a empty array */
  var tmp = [];
  /* loop over all array items */
  for(var index in array){
    if(array[index] !== item){
      /* push to temporary array if not like item */
      tmp.push(array[index]);
    }
  }
  /* return the temporary array */
  return tmp;
}
