Reset DIV size after .html('') method?

Reset DIV size after .html('') method?

Hi Everyone,

I'm having an issue where I use:

$('div#content').html('');

to clear a div before adding new content and then:

$('div#content').append('...');

to add the content. The problem is that if the previous content was larger, the height of the div stays the same and it doesn't reset when I load the new content and I get stuck scrolling through pages of blank space. I've tried using:

$('div#content').html('');
$('div#content').css("height", "0");
$('div#content').append('...');

but it doesn't work.

Any ideas what I could try? Thanks
