I am parsing JSON in jquery and i wish to remove some text from the "name" field on a certain element.

I am trying the following code but it doesn't seem to work:

$('#content ul li:contains("Industrial Average")').replace("");

Here is a fiddle to the code:

Try:

$('#content ul li:contains("Industrial Average")')
 .html($('#content ul li:contains("Industrial Average")')
 .text().replace("Industrial Average", ""));
