The jQuery unwrap() method is used to remove the parent element of the selected elements.
Syntax:
$(selector).unwrap()
Let's take an example to demonstrate the jQuery unwrap() method.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $("button").click(function(){ $("p").unwrap(); }); }); </script> <style> div{background-color: orange;} article{background-color: yellowgreen;} </style> </head> <body> <div> <p>Hello Guys!</p> </div> <article> <p>This is rookienerd.com</p> </article> <button>Click here to remove the parent element of each p element</button> </body> </html>
Let's take an example which shows wrap() and unwrap() method together.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $("#btn1").click(function(){ $("p").wrap("<div></div>"); }); $("#btn2").click(function(){ $("p").unwrap(); }); }); </script> <style> div{background-color: pink;} </style> </head> <body> <p>Hello Guys!</p> <p>This is rookienerd.com</p> <button id="btn1">Wrap a div element around each p element</button> <button id="btn2">Unwrap</button> </body> </html>
