Re: [xmljs-users] .removeChild() syntax - just can't get it right...

[David J. <dj...@ya...>]

Hi Barry,

The problem is that the variable "addresses" is a DOMNodeList (returned from getChildNodes). A
DOMNodeList doesn't support removeChild.

Basically, you need to get yourself a reference back to the addresses node so you can call
removeChild.


Hope this helps!

David
