In this article, we will see how to remove all attributes of an HTML element using jQuery. To remove all attributes of elements, we use the removeAttributeNode() method and .removeAllAttributes().

Syntax:

$.fn.removeAllAttributes = function() {
    return this.each(function() {
        $.each(this.attributes, function() {
            this.ownerElement.removeAttributeNode(this);
        });
    });
};

$('textarea').removeAllAttributes();

In the below example, we are creating a textarea element containing some attributes like – rows, cols, id, and name. When we apply the above code to a textarea element, all attributes will be removed.

Example: In this example, we will remove textarea from all attributes using the above method.
