Synopsis
theNode.removeNode( )
Description
The removeNode( )
method deletes
theNode
from an
XML document.
All descendants (children, grandchildren, and so on) of
theNode
are also deleted. The
childNodes
property of
theNode
’s parent is automatically
updated to reflect the new structure of the remaining object
hierarchy.
Example
Here we delete the second child node; the third child node takes its place:
myDoc = new XML("<P>one</P><P>two</P><P>three</P>"); myDoc.childNodes[1].removeNode( ); trace(myDoc); // Displays: "<P>one</P><P>three</P>"
