How to remove certain contents from a div?

Question

I have the following html

<div class="outer">
    Some Text
    <div class="inner">
         .....
    </div>
</div>

How would I remove or change the "Some Text" without affecting the inner div?

post your code - looks like something like `$('.outer').html("new text");` — BarclayVision, Aug 25 '14 at 18:07

You could use:

$('.inner').each(function (){
    this.parentNode.removeChild(this.previousSibling);
});

@cookie: thanks, one day I'll learn to stop using tablets/phones for code (or train the spell-check/autocorrect)... – David Thomas Aug 25 '14 at 19:45
