class method Element.remove
Element.remove(element) → Element
Completely removes element
from the document and returns it.
If you would rather just hide the element and keep it around for further
use, try Element.hide
instead.
Examples
// Before:
<ul>
<li id="golden-delicious">Golden Delicious</li>
<li id="mutsu">Mutsu</li>
<li id="mcintosh">McIntosh</li>
<li id="ida-red">Ida Red</li>
</ul>
And the associated JavaScript:
$('mutsu').remove();
// -> Element (and removes li#mutsu)
The resulting HTML:
<ul>
<li id="golden-delicious">Golden Delicious</li>
<li id="mcintosh">McIntosh</li>
<li id="ida-red">Ida Red</li>
</ul>
This method can be called either as an instance method or as a generic method. If calling as a generic, pass the instance in as the first argument.
