Clear a document?

[Alan Fiddis]

Just a quick question folks - is it possible
to clear a document, frame or iframe
of its entire contents? I know there's
document.clear(), but it doesn't seem to
do anything. :-(

Do a document.write('empty, haha!') after the page is displayed.
You will lose even all javascript after that.

[windowRef/frameRef].location = 'about:blank'
