javascript – using regular expression to remove certain tags from string

From today, I am trying to post again on a regular basis

Here is a one line regular expression to remove a particular html tag from a string.

In the example given below I am stripping the span tags from the given string.

 <script language="javascript">
	linkText = '<a href="test.html"><span><span class="random">Hello World</span></span></a>'
	alert(linkText);
	linkText = linkText.replace(/<[\/]{0,1}(span|SPAN)[^><]*>/g,"");
	alert(linkText);
 </script>
