The core code you need to execute is:

         // point to the desired element
         var oEl = document.getElementById('myId');

                 // if it exists, remove it
                 if (oEl) oEl.parentNode.removeChild(oEl);

Peter, I strongly recommend that you read and bookmark this document:

         Gecko DOM Reference
         http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Gecko_DOM_Reference

It explains all of the properties, methods, and event handlers in the DOM.

Warm regards,
Paul
