RemoveChild

[Enzo]

Hi,

I have a <div> created dynamically with 'appendchild',
inside it a form. When I press the 'esc' key, inside
the <div>, I need to remove them and return to the
parent page.

Using parent.removeChild(div) does not work?!?!

Any idea?

Thanks,

Enzo

Can you post your code?

Well, from the child, use this.parentElement.removeChild(this);

There is little point in mixing the Microsoft proprietary DOM with the
W3C standard DOM. If the - parentElement - property form the Microsoft
DOM is to be used it would be more reasonable to employ its -
removeNode - method to remove the child, and never expect the results to
work with standards compliant browsers. Otherwise the W3C DOM standard -
parentNode - property is the sensible source of a reference to the
containing node, i.e.:-

nodeRef.parentNode.removeChild(nodeRef);
Please do not top-post on comp.lang.javascript.

Richard.

Well, I find it!

var obj = parent.div;
obj.parentNode.removeChild(obj);

Thanks,

Doesn't look right to me, "parent.div"?

The div is created in the main page,
and seems to be inaccessible from
the second page (inside the div).

The div is created in the main page, and seems to be inaccessible
from the second page (inside the div).

That would explain the use of 'parent', but not 'div'. Does the DIV
element have a 'div' id attribute value? If so, don't take that
approach. See <URL:http://www.jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_41>.
