Jquery, Clear / Empty all contents of tbody element?

Question

I thought this would be rather simple but it seems the empty method is not working to clear out a tbody that I have. I would appreciate if anyone knows a proper way to do this,

Answer 1

        
             ...
             ...
            

use this command to clear the body of that table: $("#table_id tbody").empty()

I use jquery to load the table content dynamically, and use this command to clear the body when doing the refreshing.

hope this helps you.
