    Works fine - [see here](http://jsfiddle.net/TUDsG/). Sounds like you're assigning the return value of `splice()`, rather than just splicing the array – billyonecan Jun 11 '14 at 10:22

ar.splice(1,1) remove element from array

so the array ar is now ['apple','ronaldo'].

var ar=['apple','mango','ronaldo'];
ar.splice(1,1)  // removed 'mango'
ar //['apple','ronaldo'].

Fiddle Demo check console logs

.splice()

.splice() method remove the specific item into the original array and returns the removed item(s).

Try this: 

var ar = ['apple','mango','ronaldo'];
var ind = ar.indexOf('mango');
if (ind > -1) {
    ar.splice(ind, 1);
}
console.log(ar);

Working Example

I recommend to use .splice() method if you want to remove array item using item-index. But you can try this one if want to remove the item by it's value.

var ar= ['apple','mango','ronaldo'];
var removeItem = "mango";
ar = jQuery.grep(ar, function(value) {
  return value != removeItem;
});
ar //['apple','ronaldo'].

Working Example

Problem when you remove the item by value (i.e "mango") : It's remove all the items of array with the name of "mango" See in fiddle

Try this

$(function () {
   var ar=['apple','mango','ronaldo']
   ar.splice(1,1) // remove first
   alert(ar);
});
