Method to remove an individual element (e.g. path) from within svg document?

[Matt]

Hi All,

Loving SVG Web! This is question likely reflects my lack of knowledge
on javascript etc. but what is the javascript approach/method for
removing some element (like a path, circle etc.) occurring within a
svg document? The visual effect would be making the element
invisible, which I can do with attribute settings etc. but I want to
delete the element from the document. I've got the delete an SVG root
figured out, but I need more control if possible.

Somewhat related- Is there a FAQ for this project?

Thanks!

Matt

The following should work, if you wanted to get rid of a myCircle node:

myCircle.parentNode.removeChild(myCircle);

basically, get the parent node, then call its removeChild method to remove the node you want to get rid of.

Best,
