Deleting form fields

[soloa]

Hi, is there a way I can delete a Form field (if it exists) using Javascript so that I can create a new field with the same name (different type) as the deleted field?

look into using innerHTML, it won't delete but it will allow you change the firsld type.

I don't know exactly what you want to do but here's an implementation of the last comment. This will simply nab the file name and write a new type of input in its place.

<form>
<div id=&quot;formfields&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;tbox&quot;>
</div>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Change&quot; onclick=&quot;changeInput()&quot;>
</form>

<script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
function changeInput()
{
  var name = document.getElementById(&quot;formfields&quot;).all.tags(&quot;INPUT&quot;).name;
  document.getElementById(&quot;formfields&quot;).innerHTML = '<input type=&quot;button&quot; name=&quot;'+name+'&quot; value=&quot;BLAH&quot;>';
}
</script>

Thank you for your suggestions. I had an <input type=&quot;text>
and I wanted to make it a <select, which did not work using innerHTML. I did resolve my problem though by making the field a select to begin with.
