empty() Method

As the name suggests, the empty() method helps to remove all the selected elements from the web page. This method removes all the child elements of the selected DOM element. It, along with deleting the child node, also removes the content and attributes of them. This method is a lot similar to the remove() method of jQuery.

empty() Method Syntax

$('selector').empty();

It has a simple syntax, where the element to be removed is specified through its selector. This method does not take in any parameters. It will delete all the elements that are matched with the provided selector.

The below example shows the implementation of the empty() method. When the empty button is clicked, it triggers the empty() method which then removes the selected element. The elements can be selected on the basis of – id, tag name, classes, etc.
