How to remove html tags from a string in JavaScript?
Removing HTML tags from a string
We can remove HTML/XML tags in a string using regular expressions in javascript. HTML elements such as span, div etc. are present between left and right arrows for instance <div>,<span> etc. So replacing the content within the arrows, along with the arrows, with nothing('') can make our task easy.
Syntax
str.replace( /(<([^>]+)>)/ig, '');
Example-1
<html>
<body>
<script>
function removeTags(str) {
if ((str===null) || (str===''))
return false;
else
str = str.toString();
return str.replace( /(<([^>]+)>)/ig, '');
}
document.write(removeTags('<html> <body> Javascript<body> is not Java'));;
</script>
</body>
</html>Output
Javascript is not Java
Example-2
<html>
<body>
<script>
function removeTags(str) {
if ((str===null) || (str===''))
return false;
else
str = str.toString();
return str.replace( /(<([^>]+)>)/ig, '');
}
document.write(removeTags('<html> Tutorix is <script> the best <body> e-learning platform'));;
</script>
</body>
</html>Output
Tutorix is the best e-learning platform
