Remove HTML tags from a javascript string

Using plain javascript :

content = content.replace(/(<p>|<\/p>)/g, "");

Here is my solution ,

function removeTags(){
    var txt = document.getElementById('myString').value;
    var rex = /(<([^>]+)>)/ig;
    alert(txt.replace(rex , ""));

}

Why not just let jQuery do it?

var content = "<p>Dear sms,</p><p>This is a test notification for push message from center II.</p>";

var text = $(content).text();
