JavaScript/Removing Elements

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

A reader has identified this page or section as an undeveloped draft or outline. You can help to develop the work, or you can ask for assistance in the project room.

You can remove elements in Javascript with ease.

[edit] The correct way

//get the element node
element = document.getElementById("element");
 
//remove the element from the document
document.removeChild(element);

This would remove the element with id 'element'.
