This little trick comes in handy if your site runs on a CMS. The editors within CMS's have a tendency to create multiple lists to markup the same set of elements – many times due to user error.<\/p>\n

This approach could potentially be used for any type of element, but I imagine it would be most useful for ordered and unordered lists.<\/p>\n

if ($('#content ul').length > 1) {
\n\t    $('#content ul li').each(function(){
\n\t       $('#content ul:first').append($(this));
\n\t       $('#content ul').not(':first').remove();
