How do I clear the text contents of a div in javascript?
- by Ben
I'm temporarily adding contents to a div,tempDiv, and adding that to a link which is appended to a div, #contentHere, that's displayed. I need to clear the contents of tempDiv so that the links aren't appended to each other, creating a string of urls that don't link to anywhere.
$(document).ready(function(){
$.getJSON("data.php", function(data){
for(i = 0; i < 5; i++){
$("#tempDiv").append(data.justIn[i].dataLink+ ' ');
$("#contentHere").append("<a href=\"#tempDiv\">Click to go to the div link</a>");
//I need to clear the contents of tempDiv here
}
});
});
Solutions to clearing the temporary contents of the div as I go?
