Hey guys,

How can I remove existing table that was sent from a web server?. Basically I have a table filled with data that comes from a web server? I tried the append() but what happened is the new table did just displayed under the original table. So I'm looking for a way to delete the original table so only the new table will show.

Thanks,

T_T,. If you tried to search on google, you'll see the results below right? what I'm trying to do is when you did another search the results below should be deleted and be replaced with the new one. That's why I'm looking for a way to delete a table.

Try removing the existing content before append the new result.
Like $("#yourDiv").html("").append("your new content")

Hey guys I got it now,

JavaScript

$('.actualResults').remove();
                      $.each(smg, function(i, item) {
                      $('#ResultTable').append( '<tr><td>' + smg[i].Title + '</td><td>' + smg[i].EntryDate + '</td>\n\
                       <td>' + smg[i].id + '</td><td>' + smg[i].GenreName+ '</td></tr>' );
                      });

I use the remove function from the jquery and then render the new data with loop.

Thanks,
