title: jquery empty function and event handlers
body: <p>In the jquery documentation of the "empty" function (http://api.jquery.com/empty/) there is the following statement:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"To avoid memory leaks, jQuery removes other constructs such as data and event handlers
  from the child elements before removing the elements themselves."
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The text says: "... jQuery removes event handlers from the   !C H I L D!  elements ...". But I want the event handlers also removed from the div tag ($("#mydiv").empty). I know that there is the function "remove", but my intention is to not remove the div tag. What is the best way to get this done?</p>
  
  <p>The other thing is:<br>
  When they say "remove event handlers". Do they only remove constructs made with "bind" or do they also remove constructs made with "delegate"?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks alot in advance</p>
