deleting form elements using getElementById()

Apr 10.2008

Hi there!
I’m using this system to delete some fields in a form.

[CODE]
formkiller = document.getElementById(“myform”)
todelete = document.getElementsByTagName(“textarea”).item(f)
formkiller.removeChild(todelete)
[/CODE]

The problem is that the user can add as much fields as needed so I wont know exactly the item number when needed to delete, I would like to be able to delete elements using getElementById() but despite I’ve been trying for a while, still don’t know how to…
