If you actually know the text you are going to replace you could use      one   contents   contains  Hi I am text     0  nodeValue     Hi I am replace      http   jsfiddle net 5rWwh   Or      one   contents   not      1  nodeValue     Hi I am replace          one   contents   not      selects non-element child nodes in this case text nodes and the second node is the one we want to replace   http   jsfiddle net 5rWwh 1

Text shouldn t be on its own  Put it into a span element   Change it to this    lt div id  one  gt          lt div class  first  gt  lt  div gt          lt span gt  Hi I am text  lt  span gt          lt div class  second  gt  lt  div gt          lt div class  third  gt  lt  div gt   lt  div gt        one span   text  Hi I am replace

You need to set the text to something other than an empty string  In addition  the  html   function should do it while preserving the HTML structure of the div       one   html     one   html   replace  text   replace

Just in case if you can t change HTML  Very primitive but short  amp  works   It will empty the parent div hence the child divs will be removed    x000D   x000D      one   text  Hi I am replace    x000D   lt script src  https   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 2 1 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt  x000D   x000D   lt div id  one  gt  x000D     lt div class  first  gt  lt  div gt  x000D     Hi I am text  x000D     lt div class  second  gt  lt  div gt  x000D     lt div class  third  gt  lt  div gt  x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
