    text
    copied!<p>I'm using Freebase Search Suggest to bind a certain keyword to a getJson request. The problem is that I bind getJson functions and the corresponding .append/.prepend functions to to the input field that has the search suggest. Now if want to clear(.empty) my div that contains the result from the getJson functions i end up not being able to appennd anything.</p> <p>So every time I do a search the result div stays empty. If I not try to run the empty function and do a second search, the new information gets appended on top of the previous information. </p> <p>My site www.karsten-tietje.dk/sw</p> <pre><code>$('#myinput').suggest({key: "&lt;mykey&gt;","filter": "(all type:/music/musical_group )" }) .bind("fb-select", function(e, data) { $.getJSON("http://ws.spotify.com/search/1/track.json?q="+search_val, function(data) { items = []; $.each(data["tracks"], function(key, val) { items.push('&lt;li class="spot"&gt;&lt;span typeof="MusicRecording" property="track"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Name: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span property="name"&gt;' + val["name"] + '&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Album &lt;strong&gt;' + val.album["name"] + '&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Released: &lt;strong&gt;' + val.album["released"] +'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="' + val["href"] +'"&gt;&lt;i class="icon-play-sign"&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Start Spotify&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;'); if ( key === 7 ) { return false; } }); $('#spotify-div').prepend('&lt;h3 style="border-bottom:1px solid white;"&gt;Spotify tracks&lt;/h3&gt;'); $('#spotify').html(items.join('&lt;/li&gt;')); }); }); </code></pre> <p>This is just a snippet of my some of my code. I run multiple getJson functions. </p> <p>How can I clear/empty my result div before running the other functions?</p>
