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

Without use ID () , it is a great way to cope with this issue

$('#table1').find("tr:gt(0)").remove();

PS:To remove specific row number as following example

$('#table1 tr').eq(1).remove();

or

$('#tr:nth-child(2)').remove();
