htmlcode:
<div id="box">
<small>
If nothing has happend whitin the time you have read the end of this text,<br />
you either have a dead slow computer or have turned of JavaScript in your browser !<br />
In that case logout and login using the legacy / frame mode!
</small>
</div>
javascriptcode (called true an event):
document.getElementById("box")mydiv.innerText = '';

This code does not clear the content og the div.
To be able to do that you'll have to use the somewhat slower innerHtml instead.

innerText is an IE invention.
In Firefox/Mozilla/dom level 2 compliant browser, you can use textContent instead.
