How to remove the content from a “div” element using a button “onclick” function?
Question
I have a div element that contains a number of images. When the user clicks a button, I want the contents of the div to be removed (not the div itself, I want to reuse the div to potentially add new content).
In my HTML, the div and button are defined as:
<body>
...
<div class="MyDiv"></div>
...
<button id="removeDiv" onclick="removeDivFunction()">remove Div Function</button>
...
</body>
How do I write a function that removes all elements from this div ?

You have to call removeChild :
function removeDivFunction() {
MyDiv.parentNode.removeChild(MyDiv);
}

<div id="div1" style="height:100px;width:300px;border:1px solid black;background-color:yellow;">
This is some text in the div.
<p>This is a paragraph in the div.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph in the div.</p>
</div>
<br>
<button>Remove div element</button>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
$("#div1").remove();
});
});

David has already pointed you to an existing question/solution.
For reference consider reading: http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_htmldom_nodes.asp
Its always a good idea to assign id to the div.
Also if you are using jQuery you can delete element by $("#divid").remove() for reference see: https://api.jquery.com/remove/
I hope this helps.

<div class="MyDiv">I need to remove</div>
<button id="removeDiv" onclick="removeDivFunction()">remove Div Function</button>
function removeDivFunction() {
var element = document.getElementsByClassName("MyDiv")[0];
element.parentNode.removeChild(element);
}

You can try Html
<div id="some">Example</div>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Click me</button>
javascript
function myFunction() {
var child = document.getElementById("some");
child.parentNode.removeChild(child);
}
And if you want to erase content of DIV then use
child.innerHTML = "";
