Hi Prajwala,
Well that kind of worked. I ended up doing this:
data = $(data);
var replace = $('<div></div>');
data.each( function() {
if (
this.tagName != 'STYLE'
&& this.tagName != 'SCRIPT'
&& this.tagName != 'COMMENT'
) {
replace.append( this );
}
} );
I could not get the remove() function to behave as expected. Perhaps
I need to remove all children tags first or something like that?
Anyway this got me the desired results! Thanks!
