[jQuery] remove radio buttom

[jQuery] remove radio buttom


I'm trying to remove radio buttons under a specific circumstance, but
I'm not having much luck.
Here are the appropriate snippets:
alert("testing"); // just to ensure we are here
$("div.gloves_wear").empty();
...
<table border="0">
    <tr><td align="center"><b>Gloves Worn</b></td></tr>
    <tr><td><div class="wear_gloves">
    <input type="radio" name="gloves" value="0" />None (no bonus)<br />
    <input type="radio" name="gloves" value="20" checked />Big Bear
gloves (+1 Strength)<br />
    </div></td></tr>
</table>
I get the alert, but it doesn't appear that the empty ever occurs. I
get no errors in the javascript console, so I'm sure I'm just
referencing it incorrectly or something.
Any help is appreciated.
