Delete/Remove element

PoppapumpJ · Apr 1, 2003

I am looking to completely remove an element from the page and memory.

The example I have shown ACTS like what I want. When you click the button, the table goes away. However it is just being hiddin. Does anyone know how to remove it completely from the DOM?

Thanks

function DeleteThing(){

document.all.iTable.innerHTML="";
}

function existingTest() {
alert("Table: "+document.all.testTable);
}

</SCRIPT>

<BODY>
<div id="iTable">
<table id="testTable" border=5 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 >
<TR><TD>test</TD></TR>
</Table>
</div>
<INPUT type="button" onclick="javascript: DeleteThing();" value="Button" id=button2 name=button2>
