Instead of appending all alert messages together show only latest one and remove all the previous alerts

Question

I want to remove all the old alerts and show only the latest one.

The code snippet that is adding these alerts:

$("#update-timeline-audit").parent().after('<div class="alert alert-success inline"> <a href="#" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">&times;</a>No new tweets since the last audit</div>');

Please suggest me a way to solve this repitition of alerts issue! Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Try using .html() instead of .after()

.after() appends the HTML each time while .html() resets the HTML each time.
