How to remove div completely in jQuery?

jQuery: How can I change the contents of a div during a time interval? say every 20mins i need to update the contents in the div.

• I have 5 videos and i have a div which wraps the thumbnails of the video. We have given anchor for the thumbnail and the video pops up when the thumbnail is clicked. Now we need to change these thumbnails along with its respective urls each time with a time interval.

• Answer:

  You need two code pieces. 1- Jquery [code] setInterval(function(){ var offset = $('input#soffset').val(); if(offset == 15){ offset = 1; } $.ajax({ type : 'POST', url : 'includes/get-next.php', //dynamic file data : ({offset:offset,query:query,type:"tradeleads"}), //parameters success : function(msg){ $("ul#selling-slide").prepend(msg).delay(500).fadeIn('slow'); $("input#soffset").val(parseInt(offset)+1); } }); noffset++; }, 3000); [/code] 2- Dynamic code which gets thumbnails and returns. JS code will load the returned value of thumbnails and update div content. Above code working example: http://www.foodstrade.com (Trade Leads Slider)
