[Mayur2007]

Hello all of you,

I want to delete the div from the page how can i do that.
I tried this but it is not work.

the javascript function is as follows

        function removeEvent(divNum)
        {
            var d = document.getElementById('myDiv'); 
            var olddiv = document.getElementById(divNum); 
            d.removeChild(olddiv);
        }
 

and HTML tag is as below

          <td>
        <span id="fill">
        </span>
    </td>
 

though i had tried with div instead of span but it didnt work
whats the problem?
please rewrite the code

Thanks in advance.

hi ...

i assume your 'myDiv' node is the parent of the posted span with the id = 'fill' but not the direct parent ... since the span seems to be enclosed by a 'td'? ... you have to retrieve that td-node and removeChild() the 'fill-span' from it ...

kind regards

Try this method, it will remove an element or a text node.
Pass a reference to the node you want removed, or an element id.

function removeWho(who) {
    if(typeof who== 'string') who=document.getElementById(who);
    if(who && who.parentNode)who.parentNode.removeChild(who);
}
