Substring html tag using Javascript

I want to sub string and remove the , which appears within the span tag and display the name alone. Below are the two cases which needs to work.

Case1: <span class="datatableheader">No results found, </span>
Case2: <span class="datatableheader">Jude Gomes, </span>

A single function should help in removing the , in both cases and display the result as 

<span class="datatableheader">No results found </span>
<span class="datatableheader">Jude Gomes </span>

Appreciate for any help.

Thanks

It's not widely recognized that .html accepts a callback function:

$('.datatableheader').html(function(i,old) {
    return old.replace(/, ?/g, '');
});​

you can try this also

 var parts = id.split(':'); //because u have case1: or case2: 
// it will split into string in array//

$('#parts[1]').replace(",",""));
//try to print that it will work

nice question.
