Ajax replace instead of append

Question

I used the following jQuery example which works like a charm. However it appends the results. What do I need to change to replace the results instead of appending?

Answer 1

Empty function before your append or prepend function.

I tried this & it worked --->

frame is id selector & it append image.

$("#frame").empty().append('<img src="" >' ); 

Answer 2

you could empty the element before you append

$("#results").empty().append(myHtml);

or use the html method

$("#results").html(myHtml)

Answer 3

Just change

$('#results').append(myHtml);

to

$('#results').html(myHtml);

Answer 4

ok, last entry 2009, but if the problem still exist:
$("#results").replaceWith(yourContent)
