How to replace a div with another div?

Question

JavaScript

Hello. Here I am sending data by socket that a new client has arrived with a div, indicated id (each client has its own).

client.broadcast.emit('clientNew', {clientNew : '<div id=' + clientId + '>Пришел новый Вася!</div>'});

And if the client left, then I send the following data:

io.sockets.emit('clientNew', {clientNew : '<div id=' + clientId + '>Вася уплыл!</div>'});

Of course, if the user is logged in, a div is added to the site, and if he leaves, then a div is added as well. How to make one div replace another div? For it specified id. How to do? Tell. Thanks

Answer 1

So why do you need to replace the div? Change the id of the div and its html

$('#id1').attr('id','id2')
$('#id2').html('Новый контент внутри дива')
