Name
remove( ) — NN n/a IE 4 DOM n/a
Synopsis
remove(index
)
Deletes an element from the current collection. Simply specify the
zero-based index value of the OPTION
element you
wish to remove from the collection belonging to a
SELECT
element. The following example deletes the
first item from a SELECT
object:
document.forms[1].rockers.options.remove(0)
The process for removing an OPTION
element is
entirely different in Navigator. To delete an item, assign
null
to the item in the collection. For example,
the Navigator version of the preceding IE example is as follows:
document.forms[1].rockers.options[0] = null
Regardless of the browser-specific process of removing an option from
the SELECT
object, the length of the
options
array collapses to fill the space.
Returned Value
None.
Parameters
-
index
A zero-based integer indicating which item in the collection should be deleted.
