Introduction:

Here I will explain how to use jQuery to delete or remove specific item or element from array by value or index with example or jQuery remove / delete specific element or item from array list with example. By using splice or grep properties in jQuery we can delete or remove specific item / element from array list.

Description:

In previous articles I explained 5 + jQuery flip effect plugin examples, 8 + jQuery page flip book plugin examples, jQuery zoom image on mouse over using zoom plugin, jQuery split string into array by comma, jQuery check if string contains specific text or not and many articles relating to AngularJS, jQuery, JavaScript and asp.net. Now I will explain how to delete or remove specific items from an array with example in jQuery.

By using splice or grep properties we can delete specific items from an array in jQuery for that we need to write the code like as shown below

Using grep property we can delete items like as shown below

$(function () {

var arr = ["India", "USA","Australia","UK"];

$('#btnDelete').click(function () {

var str = $('#txtCountry').val();

arr = $.grep(arr, function (value) {

return value != str;

});

for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {

alert(arr[i])

}

});

})

</script>

Using splice property we can delete items like as shown below

$(function () {

var arr = ["India", "USA", "Australia", "UK"];

$('#btnDelete').click(function () {

var str = $('#txtCountry').val();

for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {

if (arr[i] == str) {

arr.splice(i, 1);

}

for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {

alert(arr[i])

}

});

})

</script>

If you want to check it in complete example you need to write the code like as shown below

<head>

$(function () {

var arr = ["India", "USA","Australia","UK"];

$('#btnDelete').click(function () {

var str = $('#txtCountry').val();

arr = $.grep(arr, function (value) {

return value != str;

});

for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {

alert(arr[i])

}

});

})

</script>
