Is there any way to delete portions of existing content on a page with a JavaScript function?
Like this:
<I WANT THIS CLEARED>
<IS THERE ANY JAVASCRIPT OR HTML STATEMENT I CAN PUT HERE?>
<I WANT THIS DISPLAYED>
What should I put in <IS THERE ANY JAVASCRIPT OR HTML STATEMENT I CAN PUT HERE?>?
I know putting <div style="display:none"><plaintext> after the part I want displayed will hide the end of a page, but how do I clear the beginning?

clear() function in JavaScript. The clear() function of the Set object removes all elements from the current Set object.
To clear the contents of a div element, set the element's textContent property to an empty string, e.g. div. textContent = '' .
You can use document.body.innerHTML = "". It will take out everything in the body so far as the browser processes the page. See the following example:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<p>This should not appear</p>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.body.innerHTML = '';
</script>
<p>This should appear.</p>
</body>
</html>
This is, however, not a great way to accomplish this. If you want some text hidden, consider jQuery as others have mentioned.
