Jquery dynamic link removal

Question

Consider the following

var newLink = $('<a/>').attr('href', name);
previewImage.wrap(newLink);

It outputs

<a href><img src=" "/></a>

I need some Jquery code to modify this to: <img src=" "/> (Only remove the wrapping link without the img). Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Use unwrap:

theImage.unwrap();

E.g.:

newLink.find("img").unwrap();
