HTML Clear

[Kieran-R]

I have a small javascript aplication, using jQuery. However, im having a problem. Heres my code:

 

  function update() {

                   	$("#update").hide();
           	}

 

When I call this function with lets say : <div id="update">bla bla bla</div>, then it will clear no problem.

But what Im trying to do is clear a much larger piece of HTML. It has 2 tables, and some PHP during it. Ive surrounded all of the part of which I want to disapear with <div id="update">....</div>, yet when the function is called, none of the information in those tags are disapering.

If somoene could help me, then that would be wonderful!

 

Thanks

umm (BTW use the [ js] tags ;))

post up the part that shows you calling this function....

Also, try something like

[js]$('#update').css('style', 'hidden');[/js]

I'm using it like this: <a href="#" onClick="javascript: update(');">

I'll give yours a try danny. But what I don't understand is why would it work for small parts of text, but not a much larger HTML area.
