How to empty a node

[laredotornado]

Hi,

I have a TBODY node with id="thebody". How do I use JS to empty all
its contents so that the DOM after the call would look like

<tbody id="thebody"></tbody>

? Thanks, - Dave

var el = document.getEle mentById('thebo dy');
while (el.hasChildNod es())
{
el.removeChild( el.lastChild);
}

or
el.innerHTML = '';

or :

var rws = [];
function emptyTbody(){
var T = document.getEle mentById('thebo dy');
R = T.rows;
rws.length = 0;
while(R.length 0) rws.push(T.remo veChild(R[0]));
}
function fillBackTbody() {
var T = document.getEle mentById('thebo dy');
R = T.rows
k = 0;
n = rws.length;
if(n 0) while(R.length < n) { T.appendChild(r ws[k]); k++; }
}

For a large number of rows, it may be faster to replace the tbody with
a shallow clone of itself:

var el = document.getEle mentById('theBo dy');
el.parentNode.r eplaceChild(el. cloneNode(false ), el);
