How to remove the tag with Jquery

Question

how to remove <br> an item with Jquery the item going after class <class="item"> ? I use $(".item > br").remove(); but its not work

Answer 1

The css selector > denotes an immediate child. If you want a sibling (they have the same parent) immediately following the item, you can use the + selector. You can find other useful selectors in the W3C specification . Your could should therefore look like $(".item + br").remove(); assuming your html looks something like

<div class="item"></div>
<br />
