How to Extract Part of a String In JavaScript

I am using a chunk of jQuery code that returns a selected option from a group of image icons. It is integrated into the WordPress WYSIWYG Editor.

When I click on the icon this string is sent to the editor:

image="'+ $('.icon-option i.selected').attr('class') +'"

This code returns: fa fa-heart selected

From this string I want to remove the string selected so that it just reads fa fa-heart.

I tried: image="'+ $('.icon-option i.selected').attr('class').split(' ')[0] +'" but it cut the string off at fa

Is this an easy fix that can be added on to my original jQuery String manipulation call?

No need for string manip, use the removeClass method:

$('.icon-option i.selected').removeClass("selected");

If you then also need the string of the class names you can expand to:

$('.icon-option i.selected').removeClass("selected").attr("class");

You can accomplish this by doing:

image="'+ $('.icon-option i.selected').attr('class').split(' selected')[0]
