JavaScript remove() doesn't work in IE

Question

I have the following code in JavaScript:

all_el_ul = document.getElementsByClassName(\'element_list\')[0];
div_list = all_el_ul.getElementsByTagName(\"div\")         


        

Answer 1

Try adding this to the top of your JavaScript file:

if (!('remove' in Element.prototype)) {
  Element.prototype['remove'] = function () {
    if (this.parentNode) {
      this.parentNode.removeChild(this);
    }
  };
}

It is a small Element.remove() polyfill.

Add that to your JS and [element].remove() should magically start working in IE.
