how to unbind a hyperlink for a label with the anchor tag?

Question

I have a label inside the link tag. I did it for purpose to reference some other script. I want to remove just the hyperlink for that label .

<a href="/" title="Go to homepage">
<label for="enr_rds_batch_update_Section" id="section">Section</label>
<img alt="Look up Questions" class="image_section_search" src="/assets/Search-icon.gif" title="Lookup Questions">
</a>​

Thanks!!

Answer 1

Just use the jQuery .unwrap() function.

The line you care about is:

$('#section').unwrap();

Just put that in a place that gets called when you want to remove the a tag.
