  • Primarily for learning, I would like to try to delete a specific character (letter or number or special character), wherever it is in a webpage, with vanilla JavaScript.
  • It doesn't matter where that character would appear:
  • * In the start of a line
  • * In the end of a line
  • * Inside a word
  • * Outside a word
  • * Between two field separators (whitespaces/tabulations, etc.)
  • Wherever it will appear, it will be deleted.
  • What would be a vanilla JavaScript "brute force" tool to do so and how would you prefer to do so if asked by a client?
  • If I am not mistaken "Tree walker" is a JavaScript concept which should be useful here.

  • The webpage won't change at all; it will stay almost the same but just without that character.

Delete all occurrences of a letter in a hypertext document with vanilla JavaScript
Primarily for learning, I would like to try to delete a specific character (letter or number or special character), wherever it is in a webpage, with vanilla JavaScript.

It doesn't matter where that character would appear:

* In the start of a line
* In the end of a line
* Inside a word
* Outside a word
* Between two field separators (whitespaces/tabulations, etc.)

Wherever it will appear, it will be deleted.

What would be a vanilla JavaScript "brute force" tool to do so and how would you prefer to do so if asked by a client?

If I am not mistaken "Tree walker" is a JavaScript concept which should be useful here.
