Answer 1

Well if you remove "contents", it's gone... You can't thereafter change its html(), since it's gone. You might want to skip the first line altogether.

Answer 2

$('#contents").remove() removes the whole <div id='contents'></div>

You're looking for $('#contents").empty(), which will remove everything inside the <div id='contents'>
