ajax_command_remove
The remove command removes elements from a page. The single argument is the
selector to be removed. jQuery.remove() is utilized to remove the elements from
the page.
ajax_command_replace
The ajax_command_html replaces the html content within an element. For cases
where the entire element needs to be replaced ajax_command_replace() should be
used. It takes advantage of jQuery.replaceWith() to replace the entire element.
The three arguments are $selector, $html, and $settings. $html is the full html
the selector will be replaced with. For example, take the html:
Hello World!
An ajax_command_replace() looks like the following:
$commands[] = ajax_command_replace('.inner', 'Goodbye World!
';
This will update the html to look like the following:
Goodbye World!
ajax_command_restripe
The restripe command tells Drupal to restripe a table. This is useful when content
inside the table has been altered. The only argument is the jQuery selector for
the table.
