can you help me to write code for "remove textarea" button?
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function genBox(n)
{
var thebox = document.createElement('textarea');
thebox.setAttribute('rows','10');
thebox.setAttribute('cols','30');
thebox.setAttribute('id','textBoxId');
document.getElementById(n).appendChild(thebox);
var but=document.createElement('input');
but.setAttribute('type','button');
but.setAttribute('value','remove textarea');
but.setAttribute('name','remove');
document.getElementById('boxhold1').appendChild(but);

}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input name="Input" type=button onclick="genBox('boxhold1')" value="insert textarea" />
<div id="boxhold1"></div>
</body>
</html>

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function genBox(n)
{
var thebox = document.createElement('textarea');
thebox.setAttribute('rows','10');
thebox.setAttribute('cols','30');
thebox.setAttribute('id','textBoxId');
document.getElementById(n).appendChild(thebox);
var but=document.createElement('input');
but.setAttribute('type','button');
but.setAttribute('value','remove textarea');
but.setAttribute('name','remove');
but.onclick = function() {
    this.previousSibling.removeNode(true);
    this.removeNode(true);
};
document.getElementById('boxhold1').appendChild(but);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input name="Input" type=button onclick="genBox('boxhold1')" value="insert textarea" />
<div id="boxhold1"></div>
</body>
</html>

Same ID for all textareas is not good though.

Btw. it only works if there's nothing between the textarea and the remove button, else IDs should be used.

Hi there DimX,

are you aware that removeNode will not work in Firefox?

forjavascript, you may see a crossbrowser solution here...
