Remove image elements from string

Question

I have a string that contains HTML image elements that is stored in a var.

I want to remove the image elements from the string.

I have tried: var content =

Answer 1

Use the text() function, it will remove all HTML tags!

var content = $("<p>"+content+"</p>").text();

Answer 2

I'm in IE right now...this worked great, but my tags come out in upper case (after using innerHTML, i think) ... so I added "i" to make it case insensitive. Now Chrome and IE are happy.

var content = content.replace(/<img[^>]*>/gi,"");
