Seems I can call obj.removeChild(child) without error, but only sometimes. I'm not sure what's going on, but I can't find .removeChild () in any msdn documentation relating to the DOM.
So what's the IE-way of going about removing an element from the document?
Thanks :)

I wrapped it in the ol' try {} catch (e) {} and it worked. Then I ditched the whole "create and remove" idea and just toggled the display property while switching .innerHTML.
I have never had problems with removeChild() methods on IE (IE6 on XP, IE6 on Win2000). What IE have you? If IE5 for Mac, it has a lot of bugs (even Bill Gates knows that), this is the reason for Safari has no real challanger till now.
