jquery - fastest way to remove all rows from a very large table

Question

I thought this might be a fast way to remove the contents of a very large table (3000 rows):

$jq(\"tbody\", myTable).remove();

But it\'s taking

Answer 1

$("#myTable > tbody").empty();

It won't touch the headers.

Answer 2

It's better to avoid any kind of loops, just remove all elements directly like this:

$("#mytable > tbody").html("");
