How to Untag the Elements without removing processing Instruction

[manikandand34755096]

In javascript, I want to untag the selected elements(Element Name: ldinsert) without removing processing instruction(marked red color). Its possible while untagging manually but doing in ExtendScript toolKit i can't why???

Code used for untagging elements.

if(myElements[i].markupTag.name=="ldinsert")
{
  myElements[i].untag();
}

Not sure if this would help, but you could try just removing the tag.

if(myElements[i].markupTag.name=="ldinsert")
{
  myElements[i].markupTag.remove();
}

Thanks for your reply.

Remove() function is contains replacewith parameter(its required, not optional) but i want to untag element without removing processing instruction and also content inside the untagged elements.

Unfortunately from code xml instruction also will be removed.

To tackle this you can try untagging like this:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

if(myElements[i].markupTag.name=="ldinsert"){
    var myNode = myElements[i];
    for(var p = 0; p < myNode.xmlInstructions.length; p){
        myNode.xmlInstructions[p].move(LocationOptions.BEFORE, myNode);
        }
    myNode.untag();
    }

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
