Question

What is the proper way in jQuery to remove an element from the DOM before its Promise is resolved?

Rajkiran Swain · Answer

A returned Promise in jQuery is linked to a Deferred object stored on the .data() for an element. Since the .remove() method removes the element’s data as well as the element itself it will prevent any of the element’s unresolved Promises from resolving. Therefore if it is necessary to remove an element from the DOM before its Promise is resolved use .detach() instead and follow with .removeData() after resolution.
