Question

I have a problem with the use of the javascript removeChild function.
Here’s my script:

    ////function to add element by ID////
        var i=1;
        $("#buttonAdd").live('click',function() { 
        $("#list1 li:last-child").parent().append('<li>'+
                                                    '<label for=njajal[]>njajal'+
                                                    '<textarea  class="tinymce" name="njajal[]" id="aaa'+i+'"></textarea>'+
                                                    '<span><a class="delIt" id="'+i+'"><b>Hapus</a></span></label>'+
                                                '</li>');
        tinyMCE.execCommand('mceAddControl', false, 'aaa'+i);
        console.log('add '+i);
        i++;
    }); 

    ////Function to delete element by ID/////
    function delIt(eleId)  
    {
        d = document;  
        var ele = d.getElementById(eleId);  
        var parentEle = d.getElementById('njajal');  
        parentEle.removeChild(ele);  
    }

What is the problem?

Here’s the HTML code:

<div id="form">
    <form method="post" action="">
        <fieldset>
            <ol id="list1">
                <li>        
                    <label for="njajal[]">njajal
                        <textarea name="njajal[]" class="tinymce" ></textarea>
                    </label>
                </li>
            </ol>
            <div id="addOpt">
                <a id="buttonAdd" class="bt"><b>Tambah</a>
            </div> 
        </fieldset>
    </form>
</div>

You use jQuery in your first function, so the easiest way to remove that element would be with jQuery:

$('#myElementID').remove();

Here’s how you can accomplish the same thing with plain javascript:

var myElement = document.getElementById('myElementID');
myElement.parentNode.removeChild(myElement);
