Question

Given an input type text, you can clear the input with .val('').

How do you clear out a contentEditable element?

If I do:

$('#my_item').html('');

that clears out the p which I don’t want.

<div contenteditable="true" id="my_item"><p>asdasddsa</p></div>

Ideas?

Thanks

Answer 1

$('#my_item > p').html('');

This will clear all the content in your p tags in that editable region, but leave the p tags there
