JQuery clear all rows after the first row?

Question

Given the follow:

<table id="myTable">
  <tr> </tr>
  <tr> </tr>
  ...
</table>

I can clear the table by doing: $("myTable").html("");

But, I'd like to instead clear all rows but the first one. Any ideas?

Answer 1

$('#myTable tr:gt(0)').remove()

Answer 2

I think you are trying to remove all rows except for table header so why don't you create th as

<table id='my Table'>
    <tr>
        <th></th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td></td>
    </tr>
</table>

And Jquery as

 $('#myTable tr td').parents('tr').remove();
