Clear cells and rows in a table using dom

Better yet, clear all table contents

[codebreaker]

...Not just clear the cells, but delete them from the table (keeping only the <table> and <tbody> elements).

I am creating the table dynamically, and links in the table will recreate it, with new data. Everything is working perfectly, except the new data is appended at the bottom, because I can't get rid of the current stuff!

How do I do this? Thanks!

I solved the problem by using a static div, instead of a static table. I now clear the contents of the div, and build the table from scratch each time. This solution works fine.

Here's a snippet I use for a table with the id="tblMeasures". In my case, the first row has TH cells, so this deletes all but the first row.

  var oTable=document.getElementById("tblMeasures"); 
  while(oTable.rows.length>1) 
    oTable.deleteRow(oTable.rows.length-1);
