Question

How do I do this in dart?

After grabbing a tbody element, I would like to do call empty() on it, but that does not seem to exist:

var el = query('#search_results_tbody');
el.empty();

I tried this, but it is acting weird, I dont even understand what the result is!

el.nodes.forEach((c) {c.remove();});

I believe the fastest and easiest way to do this at the moment is simply set the contents to empty:

var el = query('#search_results_tbody');
el.innerHtml = '';

innerHtml is pretty optimized these days on the browser, it should be quick.

Alternatively, you could also do this:

el.children.clear();

Where children is a List<Element> with a clear() method to clear the list.
