You can try the same with replacewith()
$('.click').click(function() {
// get the contents of the link that was clicked
var linkText = $(this).text();
// replace the contents of the div with the link text
$('#content-container').replaceWith(linkText);
// cancel the default action of the link by returning false
return false;
});
The .replaceWith() method removes content from the DOM and inserts new content in its place with a single call.
