Ajax basics Quiz Question - remove the class "selected"

I am stuck, stuck stuck on this question in the quiz:

Complete the code below to remove the class "selected" from all button elements.

$("button")._______("selected");

remove

does not work to fill in the blank.

I think, according to W3 schools Filter the Elements to be Removed, example 2 http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_dom_remove.asp

it would be

$("button").remove(".selected");

but I can'tput the dot in front of selected .selected, as it is already typed in without it in the quiz.

I have been trying for about half an hour, and in a few more minutes, my laptop is going out the window. Which would take considerable force, as i am working in a solid cinder block basement.

Susan, cannot answer that question. I do not even know why it was referred to me. I have yet to even START the course on AJAX. Hope you find an answer. I know how frustrating some questions can be when the answer eludes you.

"remove" removes elements from the DOM. You want "removeClass" https://api.jquery.com/removeclass/
