Is there any way to remove an element from a page? I have an IFRAME which calls a PHP script that changes a MySQL table to change the status of a record from open to closed. However, I need to remove a div from the parent page. I've been trying a simple one that says:
Code: 
function removeMe()
{
var getOut = document.getElementById("id1");
getOut.removeElement;

}
But it doesn't work. Can anybody help me out? I don't want to just make the div hidden, I want to remove it from the page so that it doesn't take up room

function removeMe()
{
var getOut = document.getElementById("id1");
getOut.parentNode.removeNode(getOut)

}

that's removing everything from the page !! here's my code
Code: 
function remove()
{

var getOut = document.getElementById("id1");
getOut.parentNode.removeNode(getOut);

}


</script>
</head>


<body>
<a href="JavaScript:onClick=remove()">click here</a>
<div id="id1">this is the first div</div>
<div id="id2">this is the second div</div>
</body>
</html>

As soon as I click the link, both the divs and the anchor are removed.

Does this do it?

Code: 
function removeMe()
{
var getOut = document.getElementById("id1");
[blue]getOut.removeNode()[/blue]

}

{
var getOut = document.getElementById("id1");
getOut.removeNode([COLOR=blue]getOut[/color])

}

Knew it was something like that.

Glad you figured it out.
