 <p>Basically you need to select the nodes you want to remove and .remove() them. Assume <code>mycontent</code> is a jQuery reference to the node with class <code>item-options</code>:</p> <pre><code>var warranty = mycontent.children('#warranty'); var txtContent = warranty.siblings('dd').last(); warranty.remove(); txtContent.remove(); </code></pre> <p>If <code>mycontent</code> is a <code>DOM</code> node then just select it with <code>jQuery</code>:</p> <pre><code>var $mycontent = $(mycontent); </code></pre> <p>A suggestion would be to structure your <code>DOM</code> such that the <code>warranty</code> element holds nodes related to it as <code>children</code> not as <code>siblings</code>. Otherwise the semantics is lost.</p>
