I tested with this html
t =
$('<html><head><style>.sssss{color:red}</style><script>function(){alert("hi")}</script></head><body>ssss</body></html>')
The return value is jquery object with 3 elements.
when I do t.get(0) it return style tag
when I do t.get(1) it return script tag
when I do t.get(2) it return just "ssss" the content of the body tag
So what happened is the jquery did not consider the html, head, body tags.
It just created style, script and the content of the body tag with the text
element.
so you can do like this
t.each(function(){
if (this.tagName == 'STYLE'){
$(this).remove();
return;
}
if(this.tagName == 'SCRIPT'){
$(this).remove();
}
})
so it will remove the style and script tags.
