The jQuery unwrap() method removes the parent elements of the selected elements from the DOM. This is typically the inverse of the wrap() method.

The following example will remove the parent element of <p> elements on button click.

Example

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    // Removes the paragraph's parent element
    $("button").click(function(){
       $("p").unwrap();
    });
});
</script>

jQuery removeAttr() Method

The jQuery removeAttr() method removes an attribute from the selected elements.

The example below will remove the href attribute form the <a> elements on button click.

Example

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    // Removes the hyperlink's href attribute
    $("button").click(function(){
       $("a").removeAttr("href");
    });
});
</script>
