I have a string, say:
<div class="thumb"><img src="/static/img/uploads/img3.png" class="bordered"></div> <div class="thumb"><img src="/static/img/uploads/img4.png" class="bordered"></div> <div class="thumb"><img src="/static/img/uploads/img10.png" class="bordered"></div> <div class="thumb"><img src="/static/img/uploads/img99.png" class="bordered"></div> How do I go about removing <img> with an SRC that matches a variable, say $imgURL
Since you want to process a html string, i would use
var string = '<div class="thumb"><img src="/static/img/uploads/img3.png" class="bordered"></div><div class="thumb"><img src="/static/img/uploads/img4.png" class="bordered"></div><div class="thumb"><img src="/static/img/uploads/img10.png" class="bordered"></div><div class="thumb"><img src="/static/img/uploads/img99.png" class="bordered"></div>'; var imgurl = ''; var $tmp = $('<div />', { html: string }); $tmp.find('div.thumb img[src="' + imgurl + '"]').parent().remove(); //not if you want the updated string then var newstring = $tmp.html(); Demo: Fiddle
