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

Answer 1

Non-destructive removal:

function removeArrayValue(array, value)
{
    var thisArray = array.slice(0); // copy the array so method is non-destructive

    var idx = thisArray.indexOf(value); // initialise idx

    while(idx != -1)
    {
        thisArray.splice(idx, 1); // chop out element at idx

        idx = thisArray.indexOf(value); // look for next ocurrence of 'value'
    }

    return thisArray;
}
