In this case either html() or text() should work as there are no other
HTML elements inside the span.
As I said, in the "each" function "this" refer to the raw DOM node,
that does not have a "text()" function. The "text()" function is part
of jQuery, which acts as kind of a "wrapper" for the elements.
The text() function returns the text of the elements selected:
http://docs.jquery.com/DOM/Attributes#text.28.29
To actually _set_ that text you need to use the text( 'string value' ) function:
http://docs.jquery.com/DOM/Attributes#text.28_val_.29
See the definitions of html() and html( value ) on the same page.
You could use the "innerHTML" property of the span if you like, i.e.:
this.innerHTML( this.innerHTML.replace(/index.cfm?a=wiki&tag=/gi, "") );
As for the site using jQuery already, do you mean the Whirlpool forum
or the wiki? The forum doesn't appear to include jQuery. I wasn't able
to check the wiki as the site went down for maintainence while I was
reading.
