Remove links with Javascript
- by Arlen Beiler
How do I remove links from a webpage with Javascript. I am using Google Chrome. The code I tried is:
function removehyperlinks() {
try {
alert(document.anchors.length);
alert(document.getElementsByTagName('a'));
for(i=0;i=document.anchors.length;i++) {
var a = document.anchors[i];
a.outerHTML = a.innerHTML;
var b = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
b[i].outerHTML = b[i].innerHTML;
}
} catch(e) { alert (e);}
alert('done');
}
Of course, this is test code, which is why I have the alerts and 2 things trying at the same time. The first alert returns "0" the second [Object NodeList] and the third returns "done".
My html body looks like this:
<body onload="removehyperlinks()">
<ol style="text-align:left;" class="messagelist">
<li class="accesscode"><a href="#">General information, Updates, & Meetings<span class="extnumber">141133#</span></a>
<ol>
<li><a href="#">...</a></li>
<li><a href="#">...</a></li>
<li><a href="#">...</a></li>
<li><a href="#">...</a></li>
<li><a href="#">...</a></li>
<li><a href="#">...</a></li>
<li><a href="#">...</a></li>
<li><a href="#">...</a></li>
<li start="77"><a href="#"">...</a></li>
<li start="88"><a href="#">...</a></li>
<li start="99"><a href="#">...</a></li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</body>
