Remove specified text from variable using jQuery

Question

I have a variable called position where I want to delete part of the text. The exact text I want to remove is contained in the title variable.

 var title = $(currentLi).find('img').attr('alt'); var position = $(currentLi).find('span').text(); 

To just clarify, I create a variable called position containing the text, I want to delete all the text that matches the text inside the title variable.

Thanks for the help of anyones.

Answer 1

 position = position.replace(title, "");

Answer 2

Try the following:

 var title = $(currentLi).find('img').attr('alt'); var span = $(currentLi).find('span'); var replaced = span.text().replace(title, ''); span.text(replaced); 

Answer 3

I made a jsfiddle for you that does the job. Try using .replace();

Answer 4

Just replace javascript. Just add this after your existing code and believe that it should return what is in the variable position minus what you have in the header.

 position = position.replace(title, "");
