Removing a form using JavaScript+DOM

francescomoi

Hi.

I've got this HTML page:

------------------------
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Blah</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<form id="foo"><input type="text"></form>
<BODY>
HELLO<br>
</BODY>
</HTML>
-----------------------

and I want to remove 'foo' form.

I'm trying with:
---------
document.removeChild(document.getElementById('foo' ));
---------

but I get this error message:
---------
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Node was not found" code:
"8"
nsresult: "0x80530008 (NS_ERROR_DOM_NOT_FOUND_ERR)"
location: "mypage.html Line: 91"]
-----------

Any suggestion? Thank you very much

In the W3C DOM if you want to remove a node you call removeChild on the
parent node so you need
var formElement = document.getElementById('foo');
if (formElement && formElement.parentNode &&
formElement.parentNode.removeChild) {
formElement.parentNode.removeChild(formElement);
}

put your form in the body please
and I want to remove 'foo' form.

I'm trying with:
---------
document.removeChild(document.getElementById('foo' ));

try :
document.body.removeChild(document.getElementById( 'foo'));
or
document.getElementsByTagName('BODY')[0].removeChild(document.getElementById('foo'));
