how to replace the span tag with comma(,) ?

Answer 1

Simply use unwrap

 $(".elq-form").find('span.test').contents().unwrap();

 .test { color: red; }

 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div class="elq-form"> <span class="test">,</span> <a>Blah Blah</a> <span class="test">,</span> <p>Blah Blah</p> </div>

Answer 2

/在 RegEx 中具有特殊含义，您必须转义 ( \\/ )：

$(".elq-form").html( $(".elq-form").html().replace(/<span class="test">,<\/span>/g,",") );
