Here is my html code:
<div> Please complete this form to create a new account. <br> Fields marked with (*) are required. <div id="errorZone"></div> </div> I want to select text between div and div id="errorZone".
I'm trying this code:
$('#errorZone').prev().text().remove(); But this doesn't work
If you want to remove everything (including the <br />):
var start = document.getElementById('errorZone'); while (start.previousSibling) { start.parentNode.removeChild(start.previousSibling); } var start = document.getElementById('errorZone'); while (start.previousSibling) { start.parentNode.removeChild(start.previousSibling); }<div> Please complete this form to create a new account. <br>Fields marked with (*) are required. <div id="errorZone">Text in 'errorZone.'</div> </div>
$('#errorZone').closest('div:not('.errorZone')').remove(); may be you can use the .parent() instead of .prev(). See this link:- How to get the text of parent element using jquery?
$('#errorZone').parent().remove('br').text();
