- Removes the child elements from the selected elementThe jQuery remove()
method removes the selected element(s) and its child
elements.
$("#div1").remove();
The jQuery empty()
method removes the child elements of the selected element(s).
$("#div1").empty();
The jQuery remove()
method also accepts one parameter, which allows you to
filter the elements to be removed.
The parameter can be any of the jQuery selector syntaxes.
The following example removes all <p>
elements with class="test"
:
$("p").remove(".test");
