remove nodes.

[Garadon]

currently I am doing as following to remove a node.


A_NODE.parentNode.removeChild(A_NODE);

this to me sound a bit like a detour. I tried.

A_NODE.remove();

but that only seemed to remove the node in question and not it children. so my question is are there any way shorter than the 1st example to remove a node and all its children?

No. Don't you think that's short enough?

[Garadon]

well sure but it seems odd to me that I have to go to the parent and find the node in it when I already had the node I wanted to remove

But you want to remove the node and its children not only the node itself.
