arianhojat Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I am trying to remove a child element from the document, but keep getting an error: In IE, This error is: 'No Such interface supported' In FF. The error is: 'uncaught exception: [Exception... "Could not convert JavaScript argument arg 0 [nsIDOMHTMLDivElement.removeChild]" nsresult: "0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)" location: "JS frame :: file:///W:/ArianTest/HelpDesk/testRemoveChild.html# :: removeTheChild :: line 18" data: no] Line 0' Here is some basic example code, tried 2 ways to remove the hyperlink element. EDIT: 2d way works, but id like to get 1st method working as i have usually used removeChild and wondering why its not working in this case. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <script type="text/javascript"> function removeTheChild() { var closeRequestDiv = document.getElementById('closeRequest'); var a = closeRequestDiv.getElementsByTagName('a'); var hyperlink1 = a[0]; alert('html='+ hyperlink1.innerHTML); //just to make sure it pulled a hyperlink node, so should output Close //alert('a.#='+ a.length); var aParent = hyperlink1.parentNode; alert('test1'); aParent.removeChild(a); alert('test2'); //never gets here } function deleteNode(elementId) { var label=document.getElementById(elementId); while( label.hasChildNodes() ) { label.removeChild( label.lastChild ); } } </script> </head> <body> Both dont work:<br/> <a href="#" onclick="removeTheChild()">Remove The Child</a> <br/><br/> <a href="#" onclick="deleteNode('closeRequest')">Remove The Child2</a> <div class="request" id="requestID2793"> <div id="closeRequest"> <a href="#">Close</a> </div> </div> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/43673-solved-cant-get-removechild-working-in-ieff/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
