Clear data from getElementById innerHTML?

Question

document.getElementById('test').innerHTML = '<h1>Hello World</h1>';

Is there anyway that I can remove everything the code above put between two HTML tags?

I am not sure what you are asking exactly. What is the output you are expecting? — epascarello, Apr 20 '20 at 17:42

I gather you want to remove the text between the <h1> and the </h1>. Simple:

const test = document.getElementById('test');
const child = test.firstChild;
child.innerHTML = "";
