[Javascript] removeChild() ???

[Mikael Lindström]

Well...nevermind.

Iwanted to remove the childs of the td:s and it didn't work.

The problem appeared to be that cause some of the childs existed due to
cloneNode-method and that apparently gives a reference to the cloned Node.

And that, thank you MSDN, is not the same as "method returns a copy of node"

MSDN really sucks sometimes ...

Regards

Michael
