Remove the title attribute using jQuery

In WordPress, when you use wp_page_menu your anchor attribute’s usually carry a title with the same name. I’m not sure if it’s correct to do this, but it bother me when I hover over a page menu navigation link and I get a hover of the title.

So on my site I used jQuery to remove the title:

$("#nav a").removeAttr("title");

Pretty simple huh?

  • Hey, yeah, that's really simple! Right now I'm doing...

    $clean_pages = wp_list_pages('title_li=&&echo=0');
    $clean_pages = preg_replace('/title=\"(.*?)\"/','',$clean_pages);
    echo $clean_pages;

  • correct me if i am wrong please....do i just put this code in my head section:

    $("#div_id").removeAttr("title");

    and that should remove the title attribute from displaying when I hover over any item within the #div_id ?

    Note: it is not an a tag I am trying to remove the title attribute from, but rather a div tag.

    • Yes, the removeAttr should remove any title attribute if there is one, as long as javascript is enabled.
