  How to remove text between  with javascript
  
  I am using javascript and jquery to change the text inside of an a tag. I was reading that document.getElementById("yearA").innerHTML = ''; would remove the text but it isn't working. I'm not sure if it's because I am adding text to the a tag then trying to remove it or not. Any help with this would be appreciated. Here is my html
  
  document.getElementById("filter-div").style.visibility = "visible";
  document.getElementById("yearA").style.visibility = "visible";
  document.getElementById("yearA").innerHTML += 'Remove Link';
  console.log('Link added')
  
  function hideYear() {
    document.getElementById("yearA").innerHTML = '';
    console.log('Link removed')
  }
  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <input type="hidden" id="hiddenTag" />
  <div id="filter-div" class="filter-div" style="visibility: hidden;">
    <a id="yearA" onclick="hideYear()" style="visibility: hidden;"></a>
  </div>

  Jquery based solution
  you may try:
  $('#yearA').text("");

  I'm not sure why you are throwing jquery into the mix, but here is a full example with hide and show functions
  HTML:
  <input type="hidden" id="hiddenTag" />
  <div id="filter-div" class="filter-div" style="visibility: hidden;">
      <a id="yearA" onclick="hideYear(event)"></a>
      <div id="showYear" onclick="showYear(event)" style="visibility: hidden;">
          show year
      </div>
  </div>
  
  Javascript:
  const year = new Date().getYear();
  document.getElementById("filter-div").style.visibility = "visible";
  document.getElementById("yearA").innerHTML += "Remove " + year;
  
  function hideYear(evt) {
      evt.preventDefault();
      evt.stopPropagation();
      document.getElementById("showYear").style.visibility = "visible";
      document.getElementById("yearA").innerHTML = "";
  }
  
  function showYear(evt) {
      evt.preventDefault();
      evt.stopPropagation();
      document.getElementById("showYear").style.visibility = "hidden";
      document.getElementById("yearA").innerHTML = "Remove " + year;
  }
