remove HTML tag - keep everything in between

[Alexander Paul]

Hi!

I'm a newbie to JavaScript who tries to code his first (useful)
Greasemonkey script.

I'd like to do the following:

<p class="someclass">text01 <b>text02</b> text03</p>
=>
<p class="someclass">text01 text02 text03</p>

I tried something like this

var nodes = document.evaluate(
"//p[@class='someclass']/font[1]/text()[1]",
document,
null,
XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
null);

for (var i = 0; i < nodes.snapshotLength; i++) {
node = nodes.snapshotItem(i);
s = node.data;
s = s.replace(/<[\b|\B]>/gi,'');
s = s.replace(/<\/[\b|\B]>/gi,'');
node.data = s;
}

Unfortunately, it doesn't work.

I would be most grateful for any help or ideas...

Grab that p element object and then set
p.textContent = p.textContent;
that way you replace all child elements of p with a single text node
containing the concatenation of all text inside of the element.
With Greasemonkey assuming Mozilla/Firefox this is possible.
