jquery-delete everything inside div, but not the div

[php_guest]

I have one simple question. How to delete everything inside div?
I know how to delete it together with div

$("#test").remove();

but I don't looking for that because I want that <div id="test"></div> stay there.

Thank you

$("#test").children().remove();

?

You could also possibly use.

$('#test > *').remove();

Not sure which is faster though.

Or alternatively..

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

You could use prototype, test for child first to prevent error...
if($('yourdiv).down){
$('yourdiv).down.remove()
}
iterate to remove all children.
