But why did this used to work? That's what I'm confused on. This used to work fine - I've added an ID to the element I'm trying to remove and passed that in the arguments for .remove() but instead of erroring, it just does nothing. I'll give this a shot.

Couldn't we just use $(selectedElement).remove(); ?

This is it. Gah. Thanks. I just have no idea why this used to work and has subsequently stopped, in all versions of jQuery.
