Problems to clear class with removeClass

Question

I'm having problems to clear class with removeClass of jQuery.

jquery script:

$('#btnPrint').click(function () { $('*').removeClass('validate[required]'); });

Html code:

<textarea class="validate[required, maxSize[1, 4000]] text-input uniform fieldValidationError" name="textBox_123" id="textBox_123"></textarea>

I'm probably going to have to do some regex to solve this problem, but don't know how.

Thanks.

I've never seen arrays used in class names before. I would just have a class named `required` and use a [custom data attribute](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes#data-*) for other data, e.g. `data-maxSize="1,4000"`. — showdev, Oct 17 '13 at 01:25
you can't have spaces in class names, really you're just adding classes such as `validate[required,` and `maxSize[1,` and `4000]]` which I'm pretty sure is not what you're trying to do. — cobbal, Oct 17 '13 at 01:42

I resolved the problem using this:

$('[class*=required]').attr("class", "");

Thanks for all.
