First off, what does 'does not work' mean.  what happens? do you get
an error message? if so what is it?

Second, That's an un-ordered list.  it's not settable or clear-able.
The.clear method is for things like INPUT type tags such as checkboxes

Third, The example doesn't match your code attempt..  the code is
looking for a <ul> with
id="x-auto-8964.   But the sample HTML has
id="x-auto-648"  so even if it was possible to use .clear  the code
would fail because the id value in your code doesn't match the id
value in the html

Last,  since an unordered list in html doesn't have any kind of
'clear' function associated with it, I suspect that there is a bunch
of Javascript behind all this that you're not showing us.  The
javascript is probably reacting to events like mouseover and click and
such, on specific elements in the list.  ON the website, when
interacting manually how would you 'clear' items from the list?

And what happens when you 'clear' an item manually?

can you give us a URL to the site with this code on it, so we can have
a better look at what's going on?
