Re: Keep HTML tags, but strip attributes

Okay, I have it all set to remove ALL tags and their attributes that I don't want. Now I just have to strip the attributes from any remaining tags. Anyone know of something that will strip all attributes from any tag, but leave the tag in tact? So <p junk=junk> would be <p> and </p more junk> would be </p>. I just need this to work for any tag, no just <p>. Any suggestions for this?
