I'm having the hardest time finding a way to match and remove the text I've been asked to remove.

I can't just match the exact string because it's different every time, but it's always between the same known chars.

    <h1 class="art-PostHeader" style="border-bottom:solid 1px; border-bottom-color:#4D909D;"><a href="/content/library-closed-14" title="Library Closed">Building Closed</a></h1>
   Code to Remove <form action=

So, while the "Content to be removed" can be anything alpha or numeric, it will always be between </h1> and <form

There should be a way to write a jQuery remove() or replace() function to match it, but I can't figure it out. I've tried regular expressions but I'm not the best at those.

You can reference the nachor tag and get the Next sibling and set the node's value to nothing. 

$("h1.art-PostHeader")[0].nextSibling.nodeValue = ""
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<h1 class="art-PostHeader" style="border-bottom:solid 1px; border-bottom-color:#4D909D;"><a href="/content/library-closed-14" title="Library Closed">Building Closed</a></h1> CONTENT TO BE REMOVED<form action="get"></form>

    Just FYI the `a` appears to be inside a `h1` tag (although the code is incomplete) so the content to be removed wouldn't be a sibling of the `a` element. – Rory McCrossan Nov 16 '15 at 18:38
  • Correct, I could not get this code to work.. Im updating the question with the full html. – Jason Nov 16 '15 at 18:42
  • $("#calpopup-body h1")[0].nextSibling.nodeValue = "" - This worked! – Jason Nov 16 '15 at 18:44
