Remove innerHTML from div

Question

I m trying to clear the div s innerHTML before repopulating it   I tried removeData   but once that s called  when I try to add the data  I get nothing from the next line after remove whereas if I remove the removeData   it s fine again   I just want to clear out any previous content in that div before I re-populate it       divToUpdate removeData      clean out any existing innerHTML div content first     divToUpdate html data     It looks like it never gets to my divToUpdate html data  for some reason after it calls that removeData

To remove all child elements from your div:

$('#mysweetdiv').empty();

.removeData() and the corresponding .data() function are used to attach data behind an element, say if you wanted to note that a specific list element referred to user ID 25 in your database:

var $li = $('<li>Joe</li>').data('id', 25);

jQuery Data is a different concept than HTML   removeData is not for removing element content  it s for removing data items you ve previously stored   Just do   divToUpdate html        or   divToUpdate empty
