Found a solution for this which is to add the 'w2p_component_stop' class
onto the div, as follows:
$('#my_target').addClass('w2p_component_stop');
$('#my_target').html('');
this will break the infinite loop set by the call in my original post and
then will hide the content left from the last iteration of the loop.
