i am using a script from bing. Well, when i run it, it assigns an attribute "lang" to all of the elements and changing my own styling. The script is online so i can't edit it. What i can do is remove that attribute from all the elements using jquery so no styling change would occur. This is what i have tried so far after searching through.

$('body').children("*").removeAttr('lang');

$('body').find("*").removeAttr("lang");

They are not working. Any suggestion?

• javascript
• jquery

• it has to be executed after the bing script is executed – Arun P Johny Commented Dec 28, 2013 at 6:36

• as a debugging step try setTimeout(function(){$('body').find("*").removeAttr("lang")}, 5000) – Arun P Johny Commented Dec 28, 2013 at 6:45

You can use Has Attribute Selector [name] and then use removeAttr()

Selects elements that have the specified attribute, with any value.

$('[lang]').removeAttr('lang');

console.log($('span').prop('outerHTML'))

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis./ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<span lang='en'>1</span>

Give this a try.

$('*').removeAttr('lang');

$($("body [lang]").removeAttr("lang"))

Add this after the script:

setTimeout(function(){
    $('body').find('*').removeAttr("lang");
}, 0);
