Few days ago, I was recalling my Java script skill. I was generating Grid using java script script. Instead of using Display property ('none' or 'block') to show or hide the control, I was creating and removing element each time. Creating element is not a big deal. However the script for removing element is different in IE and Firefox.
In IE, we can remove the element using, however this will not work in Firefox.
document.getElementById("ControlID").removeNode(true);
Fig -(1) Script to remove element in IE.
In Firefox, you have to use,
var Node1 = document.getElementById("ParentControlID");
Node1.removeChild(Node1.childNodes[0]);Fig -(2) Script to remove element in Firefox.
Below is the sample code for the same.
var Node1 = document.getElementById("Parent");
var len = Node1.childNodes.length;
for(var i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
if(Node1.childNodes[i].id == "Child")
{
Node1.removeChild(Node1.childNodes[i]);
}
}

Happy Programming !

Hello, Would this not be easier?
elToRemove = document.getElementById('controlID');
elToRemove.parentNode.removeChild(elToRemove);
My question is, you have made a function to get around .removeNode(true);
I am looking for a function that would do .removeNode(false) in firefox.. do you know of a way/
