var items = $("span"); items.css({color:"red"});   //colors text in all <span> elements red items.remove(".menu"): items.css({"font_weight":"bold"});   //set all <span> elements except .menu to bold

Another great feature of jQuery is how easy it is to remove items from and add additional elements to the jQuery object set. The .remove([selector]) method will remove elements  that match the selector from the set represented by the jQuery object. Calling .remove() with no selector will remove all elements from the set.
