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

you can use the remove() function of the example below and build table again with table head, and table body

$("#table_id  thead").remove();
$("#table_id  tbody").remove();
