Html Agility Pack - Remove element, but not innerHtml

Question

I can easily remove the element just by note.Remove() lik this:

HtmlDocument html = new HtmlDocument();

html.Load(Server.MapPath(@\"~\\Site\\themes\\default         


        

Answer 1

There is a problem with the bool KeepGrandChildren implementation for people that might have text withing the element they are trying to remove. If the removeme tag had text in it, the text will be removed also. For example text

more text

will become

more text

Try this:

private static void RemoveElementKeepText(HtmlNode node)
    {
        //node.ParentNode.RemoveChild(node, true);
        HtmlNode parent = node.ParentNode;
        HtmlNode prev = node.PreviousSibling;
        HtmlNode next = node.NextSibling;

        foreach (HtmlNode child in node.ChildNodes)
        {
            if (prev != null)
                parent.InsertAfter(child, prev);
            else if (next != null)
                parent.InsertBefore(child, next);
            else
                parent.AppendChild(child);

        }
        node.Remove();
    }
