What is the fastest way of replacing DOM element(jQuery)?

My application 开发者_如何转开发is a real-time apps using ajax environment. It is a live picking of schedule. The users want see the available slot in real-time way. such that they can see other ticking schedule. And i'm using ajax to replace the element with the new one. Example:

$.get(my_url, function(data){  $('#area').innerHTML(data); });

On success the element with an ID 'area' will be replaced with the new generated html response so that it looks 'real-time'.

Use the load() function

$('#area').load(my_url);

Not sure what you mean by fastest, but the easiest is this:

$('#area').load(my_url);

Which does the same thing your $.get request does.
