jQuery: how to delete list items from lists?

Question

Is there a way with jQuery to remove all the LIs inside a UL with an id of 'myList'?

Answer 1

The following will do the trick:

$('#myList li').remove();

But you should familiarize yourself with jQuery's supported selectors and manipulation

Answer 2

Slightly simpler approach:

$("#myList").empty();

See empty(). The other answer works fine for this but gets more awkward for other elements that can have different child elements (eg tables).
