how to remove a div from the html using ajax

Question

I am trying to remove a div (and its children, if its contains) from a webpage.
Here is the ajax code I am using.

$.ajax({
    url: window.location,
    method: 'POST',
    dataType: 'text',
    data: {
        delete_id: 1,
        to_delete:deleteID
    }, success: function (response) {
        //Remove this node 
        $('.display_stts').removeChild(response); //It does not work 
    } 
});

The ajax code returns this, which I would like to remove from the page.

<div class="card gedf-card">
    <div class="card-body ml-10" style="padding:5px;">
        <p class="card-text" style="color:blue; font-size:15px; text-align: justify;" name="cmtSpace" id="cmtSpace">
        
            some text some text some text 
            
        </p>
        
        <div class="text-right mr-5 replies">
            <a class="card-link reply"  href="javascript:void(0)" data-stID="124" onclick="stt_func(this)">
                <i class="fa fa-reply"></i>continue
            </a>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<br>

And this ajax response html code is in a div with the class name class="display_stts" :

<div class="display_stts" id="display_stts">
    <!-- displaying here -->
</div>

In this class class="display_stts" I have multiple elements like the one returns by ajax. But I would only like to remove that specific one.
How could I manage that?
Thank you for the taking the time to answer my question.

Answer 1

You can try to hide the div with your ajax. First put a display style say inline in your div like this

<div class="display_stts" id="display_stts" style="display:inline">
<!-- displaying here -->

Then in your ajax you can hide after success like this by setting it to display none

$.ajax({
url: window.location,
method: 'POST',
dataType: 'text',
data: {
    delete_id: 1,
    to_delete:deleteID
}, success: function (response) {
    //Remove this node 
    var x = document.getElementById("display_stts");
    x.style.display = "none";
    
} 

});

As you already have the deleteID , there seems to be no need to use the HTML response at all: you can retrieve the element having the data-stID attribute (with $('[data-stID="' + deleteID + '"]') ), and then use .closest() to traverse up the DOM tree until you reach the desired element: we're targeting .gedf-card here.

Putting it together, the code should be like this:

$.ajax({
    url: window.location,
    method: 'POST',
    dataType: 'text',
    data: {
        delete_id: 1,
        to_delete:deleteID
    }, success: function () {
        var cardToRemove = $('[data-stID="' + deleteID + '"]').closest('.gedf-card');
        cardToRemove.remove();
    } 
});

try this solution it will help you.

function RemoveJSElement() {
  var html = "<div id='myElement'><div class='display_stts' id='display_stts'><div class='card gedf-card'></div><br></div></div>";

var containerdiv = document.createElement('div');
containerdiv.innerHTML = html;

alert(containerdiv.innerHTML);

var display_stts = containerdiv.getElementsByClassName('display_stts')[0];
display_stts.parentElement.remove(display_stts);
alert(containerdiv.innerHTML);
}
