title: Remove special character (ampersand) from a string with jQuery or javascript
body: <p>I'm trying to achieve something that 'should' be fairly straightforward, bit I can't find anything online to help me out.</p>
  
  <p>I have some CSS class names that are being output with ampersands in them (its down to the system I'm using and is unavoidable). I'd like to use a little bit of jQuery to simply remove the ampersand, so a string that looks like:</p>
  
  <p>class="Middle&amp;East"</p>
  
  <p>would be</p>
  
  <p>class="MiddleEast"</p>
  
  <p>Any help with this would be very much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
