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

[Barry B. <ba...@ta...>]

ach, you're spot on David

to get the node itself it needed:

var addressNode =3D =
addressRoot.getElementsByTagName("addresses").item(0);

so I could then do:=20

addressNode.removeChild(addrBlock);

thanx again
