title: How do I clear the text contents of a div in javascript?
body: <p>I'm temporarily adding contents to a div,tempDiv, and adding that to a link which is appended to a div, #contentHere, that's displayed. I need to clear the contents of tempDiv so that the links aren't appended to each other, creating a string of urls that don't link to anywhere.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).ready(function(){
     $.getJSON("data.php", function(data){
       for(i = 0; i &lt; 5; i++){
           $("#tempDiv").append(data.justIn[i].dataLink+ '  ');
           $("#contentHere").append("&lt;a href=\"#tempDiv\"&gt;Click to go to the div link&lt;/a&gt;");
           //I need to clear the contents of tempDiv here
    }  
     });
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Solutions to clearing the temporary contents of the div as I go?</p>
