.remove()

Add examples on how to remove elements from DOM?

[rgrove]

In YUI:

Y.one('#foo').remove();     // Removes #foo from its parent.
Y.one('#foo').remove(true); // Removes #foo and purges plugins and events.

Anyone want to contribute the equivalent jQuery code?

jQuery:

$('#foo').remove();      // Removes #foo including events and jQuery data.
$('div').remove('#foo'); // Removes #foo from within DIV element.
