remove all anchors except it's contents?

Question

I found that sometimes this code returns NotFoundError: An attempt was made to reference a Node in a context where it does not exist.

$('a').replaceWith(function() {
    return $.text([this]);
});

Is it complaining about a case when the anchor does not have any text node? perhaps a child HTML element?

Answer 1

Try this:

$('a').contents().unwrap()
