Safari and removeChild

[aforstie]

I call the following function and it appears to remove it from the DOM in Safari. The field it is removing is a password field that has a value of "Password". I add a new node to the DOM that has no value, but when I input a value Safari sends in the the first value "Password" and the value I input.

Any thoughts? (All other browsers only send in the new input value.)

function removeElement() {
var node = document.getElementById("password-span");
node.removeChild(node.childNodes[0]);
}

Try using a specific reference to the element you want to remove instead of using childNodes[0], as you could be removing a whitespace node instead of the actual node.

Hope this helps,

I switched it to this and I am getting the same results. Any other ideas?

// removeElement(document.getElementById("password"));

function removeElement(obj) {
obj.parentNode.removeChild(obj)
}

Do you have multiple elements with that ID?

Can you post a URL to your page?
