    text
    copied!<p>I have a monitoring website which shows "who is logged in" and their "state" (online/away/etc.).</p> <p>They are basically wrapped near the bottom of my page with:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="telecaster_agentenstatus" class="telecaster"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td id="free_agents"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td id="acw_agents"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td id="pause_agents"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr id="telecaster_agentenstatus_start"&gt; &lt;td id="agentenstatuus" colspan="3"&gt; &lt;div class="agent_telecaster_container"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>So all "agents" get into the div with the class "agent_telecaster_container". I append as many divs as I need with:</p> <pre><code>for (nameAgent in supervisionagents.group[0].agent) { //$("#agentenstatuus").append('&lt;div class="agent_telecaster"&gt;'+nameAgent+'&lt;/div&gt;'); counter++; if (supervisionagents.group[0].agent[nameAgent].stateCurrent.description == "idle") { $(".agent_telecaster_container").append('&lt;div id="agent'+counter+'" class="agent_telecaster"&gt;&lt;img src="images/icons/box_green_12x12.png"&gt;&amp;nbsp;' + nameAgent + '&lt;/div&gt;'); } </code></pre> <p>Which gets called over and over again.</p> <p>What I need is to "clear" the with its content because it can be that every second someone gets offline or online.</p> <p>So far this can be possible with a simple:</p> <pre><code>$('.agent_telecaster_container').empty() / .remove(); </code></pre> <p>But what then happens is that if I move my view / scrollbar to view some things underneath that table, with every reload (every sec.) it jumps back to this . I guess this happens because of the remove / empty and this element gets deleted but new content gets in.</p> <p>Has anybody any idea on how to prevent the jumping? :/</p>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
