In jQuery I want to remove all HTML inside of a div

Question

I have a div and I want to remove all the HTML inside of that div.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

suppose you have a html like this

   

     
Hello
     
Goodbye
  

if you want all html under "first" div to remove permanently. just use this

$('.first').empty();

result will be like this

for temporary(if you want to add them again) we can try detach() like

$('.first').detach();
