Destroy widget but keep div Posts
October 22, 2017 at 1:04 pm Destroy widget but keep div #96851

I’m trying to refresh a widget, for example a jqxCalendar. I’m calling destroy to remove the currently instantiated calendar widget. When I try to instantiate another jqxCalendar at the same div location it fails. Does the destroy remove the div too?

If so what is the best way for me to achieve instantiating a new widget in place, without having to recreate the div?

Thanks, Mike

Hi emberq,

you could surround the widget with a dummy div.

Like this:
```
<body>
   <div id="CalendarDiv"></div>
</body>

function createCalendar(){
   $('#CalendarDiv').html('<div id="jqxCalendar"></div>');
   $("#jqxCalendar").jqxCalendar({...});
}

function destroyCalendar(){
   $('#jqxCalendar').jqxCalendar('destroy'); 
}
```
