Remove Child

[Harinee Sampath <ha...@hotmail.com>]

Hi all,

How do I remove an element with a particular attribute value from a document 
created by parsing an XML file?I am using xerces 1.1.1.I am also kind of new 
to Java,which might be the problem.If I use removeChild() of Node,it removes 
all the elements of that name.

Any help is appreciated.Thanks.

Harinee

The DOM really support any query mechanism. All it can do is search for
a specific element with its ID or name. If you have the element name you
can search for it with getElementsByTagname() or
getElementsByTagnameNS(). Then you're on your own to look for the one
that has the attribute you want.
Once you have the relevant element node, to remove it you can do
something like:

el.getParentNode().removeChild(el);

Can you post the code snippet used to remove the element node? To my
knowledge, removeChild(Node oldchild) should just remove that particular
'oldchild'.
